Romney Outraises Obama in North End
The neighborhood, which houses Romney's Boston headquarters, bucked the trend in most city neighborhoods.
Former governor Mitt Romney still has some neighborhood strongholds in Boston. The North End is one of them.
Through March of this year Romney outraised President Barack Obama in two North End zip codes. In 02113, Romney outraised Obama by more than a 3:1 margin. In 02109 (which the North End shares with parts of Downtown), Romney edjed Obama by about $8,000. Donations are tracked by zip code.
Romney's Boston headquaters are lcoated in the North End, which may help explain the former governor's money advantage in the neighborhood. In total, Romney outraised Obama in just six of 34 zip codes used by Boston donors.

Overall, the president outraised his challenger by more than $500,000 in Boston through the month of March, according to Federal Elections Commission records, but his fundraising lagged behind Romney’s in a handful of neighborhoods.
In one neighborhood, though, neither candidate got to claim the title of top fundraiser. Ron Paul pulled $2,500 from the 02123 zip code applied to some Boston University properties along Commonwealth Avenue, while both Obama and Romney earned nothing from donors there.
