Romney top fundraiser in Oregon

WASHINGTON — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads all presidential candidates in fundraising in Oregon.
The latest campaign finance reports, broken down by state, show Romney, a Republican, has raised more than $392,000 in Oregon, followed by Democrat John Edwards at about $275,000.
Figures compiled by the Federal Election Commission through Sept. 30 show the presidential candidates have raised more than $6 million in the three Northwest states — a fraction of the $416 million they have raised nationwide in the first nine months of the year.
The figures likely understate the candidates’ overall support, since donors giving less than $200 are not required to list their home state.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., continued to show strength in the Northwest — raising more than New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in all three states. Obama finished second among Democrats in Oregon fundraising with $237,320.
Clinton, who leads Democrats in most national polls and is the top fundraiser nationally, was third among Democrats in Washington and Oregon, and second in Idaho. Her best state was Washington, where she raised $453,376, followed by Oregon at $163,265 and Idaho at $28,585.
Clinton is scheduled to visit Seattle Monday to address the annual Warren G. Magnuson Awards dinner hosted by state Democrats.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was second among Republicans in Oregon, raising $145,035.
