Now that we've got a CNMI contest with federal election law applying, let's take a peek at OpenSecrets.org.
I've been looking forward to this, but it looks like only Pedro A. Tenorio supporters have gotten into the act with $3850. It's early in the game since none of the Washington Delegate candidates were officially certified until two weeks ago. It will be fun to watch anyway.
It's interesting to note in passing that Governor Benigno R. Fitial popped for $1,000 to the Republican National Committee a year ago; I wonder if he's having second thoughts.
More incongruous: an April $1,000 donation to House Democrat George Miller from Saipan Tribune Publisher Lynn Knight.
It seems contributions from this zip code reached their peak in the wild 'n wooly Abramoff days. In this cycle, Sen. John McCain appears to be leading Sen. Barack Obama in Presidential contributions that are over the reporting threshold-- I'm lazy today; I'll have to get back to you on what that is.
I'm supposed to give credit to the Center for Responsive Politics; here you go and I'll do it again soon.

Great article. I'm curious about the answers to the questions you posed. Lynn Knight donating to Miller? On the surface, this is very odd indeed. Maybe they were high school pals? Who knows..
