There’s been several dozen articles in local media outlets in the past three or four days regarding the candidates’ fundraising totals - because the FEC reports released on Sunday broke the money down by state. So instead of having to read from the local NH paper that Romney raised the most in that state or the local NV paper that Rudy raised the most there, I have sorted through the FEC reports and compiled all the data for you. I know, you can thank me later.

I’ll put the early primary states above the fold, and if you’re really nerdy, like I am, you can find much more information below the fold. If a candidate’s name isn’t listed, they didn’t raise anything from that particular state. And remember, these numbers may or may not tell us anything - they do not reflect the current state of the race; they are simply one ingredient with which to gauge the support of the candidates in various states. (If you want numbers from other specific states than these 5, let me know and I’ll put them in the comments section.)
