Obama outraises McCain in 29401

This is kind of stunning:

Obama raised $546,949 in the Charleston area, slightly more than the $524,320 raised by McCain.

While most experts may think that peninsular Charleston south of Calhoun Street is solidly GOP turf, Obama actually out-raised McCain in the 29401 ZIP code $137,305 to $89,960.

May say as much about Obama's strong campaign this year as GOP lack of enthusiasm for McCain. If Mark Sanford was running for President, I doubt Charleston would be raising more money for the Democratic candidate.
