New October 2007 quarterly campaign finance reports show that among presidential candidates, Mitt Romney raised the most of the pack in Idaho – $457,248 – followed by Rudy Giuliani with $161,500, John McCain with $77,694 and Barack Obama with $48,175. The only thing is, all but $2,540 of the contributions to Romney came from southern Idaho. Meanwhile, most of Giuliani’s contributions were from up north, with $94,700 from the Panhandle alone. McCain’s center of support in Idaho seems to be the Twin Falls-Sun Valley area, which also accounted for nearly half of Obama’s Idaho contributions/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.
