Today's story, "Perry leads GOP in S.C.," shows that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has raised more money than any other Republican presidential candidate in South Carolina. (President Barack Obama has raised twice as much as any Republican candidate in South Carolina, but he has the stage all to himself at the moment.)

In reporting that story, I downloaded a lot of spreadsheets to make sense of the numbers. Here are some interesting stats, in no particular order:
