The Meaning of Obama's $52-Million Month
While our leaders have to fork out money for plane tickets, hotel, petrol, cigarette; the developed nations chip in to support their presidential candidates with both sides having a war chest of almost US$180M combined. That's some serious money from lobbyists, special interest groups, concerned citizens, girl scouts, etc. If the Old Putera Association starts collecting US$30k per table, we could have our own President run for any party presidency. Something to ponder.
"Two numbers tell the entire Obama story: $2 million and $68. The latter is the average size of a contribution to the Obama campaign in June. The amazing thing is that it's about $30 lower than the average contribution in May, April or March. This indicates that the senator attracted a massive number of new $5, $10, $20 donors once the primaries ended--presumably from the ranks of devoted Dems who had (until then) supported Hillary Clinton" (think about the last time your supporter chipped in RM68 for you).
"Ultimately, Obama could raise more than $250 million by Election Day if he continues at this pace--and judging by his expanding pool of small donors, he will".
