Volunteering for a campaign is one way to help out a candidate.
Many North Dakotans are also giving money to presidential candidates,
too. On the Republican side, people in our state are giving the
most money to Ron Paul. On the Democratic side, it`s Barack Obama.
Democratic volunteer Mylo Candee says the almost $11,000 from
North Dakota supporters shows Barack Obama`s ideas are resonating
with the state`s voters.
"What really struck me is that Senator Obama has made a
real commitment to a red state and that`s a sign of respect that
North Dakota doesn`t usually get," says Candee.
And on the Republican side, presidential candidate Ron Paul has
received well over $6000. The campaign coordinator says that`s
because North Dakotans are ready to go back to traditional Republican
values.

"He doesn`t have deep pockets," says Charlene Nelson,
Ron Paul State Campaign Coordinator. "He doesn`t have these
huge billionaire donations coming in. These are people like you
and me, who have $30, $40, $50 to give to a man that they hope
will be in the White House in November."
Both Candee and Nelson say they expect their candidates to win
the North Dakota caucuses. Those campaign money statistics came
from the Federal Election Commission outlined on www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/map.
