Posted: 9:40 AM- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is raising more money in heavily Republican Utah than John McCain.
Through the end of July, disclosure forms show Obama raised almost $5 for every $4 his Republican rival netted from Utah donors.
Obama's campaign said he has raised $706,046 in Utah; McCain raised $595,320.
McCain is not only a Republican but also a senator from neighboring Arizona.
Obama's supporters in Utah explained the political riddle by saying their candidate is generating more enthusiasm than McCain.
