Clinton outraises Obama — and everybody else — in Missouri

Special to the Post-Dispatch

The campaign for Sen. Hillary Clinton reported this morning that she collected more money from Missourians in the last three months of 2007 than any other candidate in either party.

Clinton’s take: $330,000. A sizable chunk likely came from her Dec. 2 visit to the St. Louis area, which included a flurry of fundraisers arranged by Democratic fundraising guru Joyce Aboussie.

In contrast, Sen. Barack Obama reported raising $140,777 in the state, compared to $30,324 for former Sen. John Edwards. (For the year, Obama had been outraising Clinton in the state.)

Among the Republicans, now-departed candidate Rudy Giuliani collected the most, $191,760, followed by former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s $92,532, former Gov. Mitt Romney’s $81,575, and Sen. John McCain’s $49,535.
