More on Dixie's dollars

Today the Institute released the findings of our first-ever regional analysis of 2008 presidential campaign contributions. We found that the top five Democratic and top five Republican campaigns have collected over $45 million from the South.

After some technical glitches (goodbye, new Dell laptop), we now have a handy PDF file with interesting charts about who is getting Dixie's money -- and who isn't getting support from the South.

The results may surprise you (for example: what does South Carolina have against Hillary?)

Check out the info here (pdf).
