That is exactly correct. Bush’s major donors came from those same zip codes. In prior posts, I gave you the link to Bush’s opensecrets.org donor by zip code pages for the 2000 and 2004 election cycles. You and many might not like the facts as recorded by the FEC, but that is the record.

Bush made specific efforts to court these groups in both elections (Long Beach and NYC, NJ, CT, Boca Raton Fl, etc) especially in the 2000 election cycle.

You are totally off base.

Places like Manhattan, Greenwich, CT and the Palm Beach/Boca Raton are are ALWAYS going to give large amounts of money to both parties. This is because they are extremely wealthy areas. However, they will almost always give to "top tier" candidates who can actually win, especially this early in the nomination process. Also, when they give it is usually the maximum amount and this is often done at fund raising parties.

People who live in $5 million+ mansions or penthouses ARE NOT making $98 credit card donations to ANY candidate and especially not to one who is proposing radical federal changes that will throw the economy into turmoil.
