Fundraising in Maryland

The Washington Post shows McCain with $234,649 and Obama with $877,247 of contributions by voters in Maryland. This comes as no surprise, since Obama is clearly going to win the state of Maryland. However, it is interesting to see just how much the divide is in campaign contributions. As we all know, money is key to a running a successful presidential campaign and fundraising is a good indicator of how well a candidate will do in a state. It is obvious that Obama has done well in Maryland in almost tripling the amount of funding that McCain has seen from this state.
