President Bush visited the Bay Area today, attending a Republican National Committee fundraiser in the wealthy town of Hillsborough (map) and keeping intact his record of not setting foot in the City and County of San Francisco. The last president to avoid the City so thoroughly? Calvin Coolidge.

Hillsborough, for all its wealth, is not an exclusively Republican stronghold, however, as its political donations show. Plenty of support there for Obama and (alas) Edwards.
