Who leads among small donors? It ain't Obama!

[wyldwolf]

It's John Edwards. About $1 out of every $3 he has raised for the primaries came from donors who contributed in small amounts," according to USA Today.

"Among the top fundraisers, Edwards has raised the biggest share of money from donors who gave $200 or less."

Did he sell more t-shirts than Obama?

1. Actually, the article has Kucinich with a higher percentage

They just didn't count him.

2. Very interesting

It's too bad you couldn't resist tacking that little flame-baith thingy on the tail end of your post.

29. It's unproductive and alienates people

Is that your goal?

Every consider taking the high road just to see if you'd get different results? You might be pleasantly surprised.

5. % vs actual money. Obama is the one who actually raised the most in $ and cents from small donors

Actually very interesting as HRC gets 1 out of 10 of her dollars from small donors versus 2 out of 10 for Richardson and around 3 out of 10 for Obama and Edwards.

Candidate 	   Primary receipts  From small donors            %
                   (in millions) 	 (in millions)


Barack Obama 	   $76.1 	           $20.8                  27 %
John Edwards 	   $27.9 	           $8.5                   30 %
Hillary Clinton    $74.7 	           $8.2                   11 %
Bill Richardson    $18.0 	           $3.5                   20 %

But Edwards raised more than HRC in dollars and cents though he raised much less in dollars and cents, which gives us a better idea where HRC got her dollars from.

10. Thank you. I'm surprised a Hillary supporter would use this article to try and attack Obama.

Well, considering who posted it, maybe I'm not surprised.

[Dawgs]

6. Obama raised $1,870,410 in the past three days.

I think he's doing just fine.

7. Who leads among small donors? It ain't Obama!

[Mass]

8. Yes it is, in dollars and cents (read your article), but we can see that the fat cats go to Hillary.

He got more than twice as much as everybody else, even if he is slightly behind Edwards in %, and far ahead from your candidates.

The only striking thing is that Hillary Clinton is so far behind...

[Dawgs]

9. Obama raised almost 2 million from small donors in the past 3 days.

That is all I need to know. Your article proves that Edwards AND Obama are kicking Hillary's butt with small donors. She wins with big money contributions.

[William769]

11. She also wins with everybody else, just look at the polls.

To bad that money isn't helping his campaign.

[Dawgs]

15. Wow! Another third-grade post from a Hillary supporter - big surprise.

Your buddy wyldwolf tried to use an article to attack Obama, and it backfired. Most other Hillary supporters would just stay away, but you couldn't help yourself.

You had to come in here and start attacking like a jackass. I'm sure you're making Hillary proud.

[William769]

16. There you go with that "third-grade" thing again.

:rofl:

[Ethelk2044]

26. The only Poll that counts is on election day in Iowa.

[William769]

27. Thats very true, and with the downward trend for Obama in Iowa, I'm not worried at all.

12. You need to go back to remedial math.

Obama has raised MORE money than anyone through small donors.

Edwards depends on them for a greater share of his budget because he can't raise any money from big donors.

[wyldwolf]

14. why? I didn't write the article. You need to go back to remedial reading

Now watch, everyone. Geek tragedy just attacked me. A few posts from now he/she'll be complaining about me attacking.

[Mass]

17. Well, the article provided data that you chose to interpret in a misleading way.

The truth is that Obama got more $ from small voters than anybody else by far.

[wyldwolf]

18. I didn't interpret it. The article did.

:)

[geek tragedy]

20. The article didn't say that Edwards leads in donations from small donors.

You're the one who introduced that lie.

[Mass]

22. No, except if you would prefer to get 90 % of a $ 2 price rather than 10 % of a $ 1M one.

:)

[Ethelk2044]

25. Mass you are correct. However the poster of this Lie will never admit when he is wrong

[geek tragedy]

19. Your headline is a lie.

John Edwards does not lead in small donors. The article doesn't state that.

The FACT is that Obama has raised more money from small donors than 'your girl' and Edwards combined.

So, please don't lie and then complain when people point out that you are lying.

24. wyld, have you donated yet?
