McCain claims most money from Miss.

The Clarion Ledger reports that John McCain has received the most money from Mississippi Republicans:

If campaign donations are any indication of support, Sen. John McCain and former Sen. Fred Thompson are Mississippi's favorite presidential candidates. Mississippians donated nearly $1.2 million to all presidential candidates as of the last filing period, which ended Dec. 31, Federal Election Commission records show. That's a fraction of the $582 million raised nationwide. McCain, an Arizona Republican who was helped by former Sen. Trent Lott, raised the most money in the state, $266,103. Michael Harrell, president of Jackson-based Harrell Contracting, gave the Arizona senator $2,300. "He's just my kind of guy," Harrell said. "I've seen him be strong when he has to be strong and compassionate when he has to be compassionate." Mississippi Republicans changed their rules this year so their 39 delegates will be distributed in a proportional method - unless a candidate wins 51 percent or more of the vote. Then the candidate can claim all of them.
