Al Franken Keeps Raising Campaign
Cash From Non-Minnesotans

Not in U.S. Senate race," by Pat Doyle, dated January 19, 2008.

So far, [Al] Franken far outpaces the field in outsider contributions, with 77 percent of his individual donations coming from non-Minnesotans.
[...]
Franken's entertainment industry connections have helped, with actor Tom Hanks, film director Rob Reiner and others among donors. One-fourth of the value of personal contributions to the Franken campaign has come from Californians -- exceeding the total donations from Minnesotans. Beverly Hills ZIP codes alone account for 54 contributions.
