MUSCATINE, Iowa - Although Muscatine County is distributed nearly even among registered Republicans and Democrats, it’s the Republican candidates who are getting most of the money.

Posted by Buster - InMuscatine.com

A review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records shows approximately $164,139 in political contributions coming from donors in Muscatine County, 97 percent of which went to Republican candidates and groups. The figures are a sharp contrast to the overall state totals of 35.9 percent of contributions going to Democrat candidates and groups and 63.7 percent going to Republican candidates and groups. The figures were listed for the 2004 election cycle, covering the last two years.

Muscatine County has 9,960 registered Republicans, 7,717 registered Democrats and 11,106 registered Independents.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
