Obama donations
May 20th, 2008 | by scott |Interesting article on DailyKos about who/how Obama donations have come in…keep in mind this is unprecedented grass roots fundraising.
Over 1.5 MILLION people have taken money out of their pockets to support a candidate. Not a single dime of taxpayer funds - all of this is from personal donations.
New donors in April: 200,000
94% of contributions were under $200
93% of contributions were $100 or less
77% of contributions were $50 or less
52% of contributions were $25 or lessNumber of donors to the Obama campaign overall at the end of April: 1.475 million
Number of contributions given: 2,929,000 million
Average donation: $91
Amount raised in April: $31.3 million (plus an additional $600,000 for the general election)Cash on Hand: $37.3 million (plus an additional $9.2 million for the general election)
Now, on the other hand, the Clinton campaign is $20 million in debt and has unpaid bills to local florists, taxi services, hotels and Dunkin Donuts.
Who do *you* want managing the American budget?
