Virginia Senate Race: Donations by ZIP Code
Who are your neighbors donating to in the U.S. Senate race in Virginia?
The Virginia Senate race is neck-and-neck, with Tim Kaine and George Allen split down the middle, according to a new Washington Post poll. Each candidate has 46 percent, the same as a year ago, the newspaper noted.
Kaine is ahead in fundraising, collecting $7,434,457 to Allen's $6,137,826 as of March 31. Allen is in a primary race with three fellow Republicans, while Kaine has the Democratic field to himself.
Allen leads the race in donations from in-state donors, with 47.8 percent of his donations coming from Virginia. Kaine's in-state donations account for 31.3 percent, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
However donations of less than $200 total $421,434 for Kaine and $130,700 for Allen.
In fundraising, the two trade first-place in donations honors from ZIP code to ZIP code in Northern Virginia.

I didn't like Allen the first time round. I would not like to see a return. Kaine at least is a change. Change is better than a known problem.
