Arlington for Brownback?!


Could it be? Could lefty, liberal, Democratic Arlington County be a bastion of financial strength for hard-core conservative presidential aspirant Sam Brownback, Senator from Kansas?


It appears so.


According to federal election records, Arlington County's 22201 zip code was the largest source of first quarter '07 campaign contributions to Sen. Sam Brownback's presidential campaign. (We got this from a chart in today's Washington Post, and assume their research is correct.)


Good lord. That's the Curmudgeon's zip code. We'll have to drive around and see if Brownback for President yard signs have begun to sprout in our neighborhood!

XC,

I believe 22201 includes parts of Rosslyn, which is home to a big chunk of the "Associations" around here. They are probably contributing out of some level of political bet hedging (and since he's still in the Senate, it never helps to make nice). Given how little money he's raised, that alone could make 22201 a significant percentage contributor.
