[mudesi]

Hillary Clinton campaign contributions



Barack Obama campaign contributions



John Edwards campaign contributions


And here is why Kucinich was marginalized from the get go:

1. Hey, looks like you missed my kucinich contribution!

[Occam Bandage]

2. Kooch got negative-7% from business?

[Alexander]

3. How did that happen? Does he owe them money or something?

[Occam Bandage]

5. And Edwards took in $12,000 all campaign.

[Stephanie]

13. Maybe he returned a donation?

Would that show up on the FEC?

[iamjoy]

4. That Can't Be Right

It has a number over 100% for Kucinich.

[Prophet 451]

14. I noticed that too

How does THAT work?

[Alexander]

6. Interesting. Obama's % is less from business than Hillary's...

And more from labor and ideological/single issue voters.

7. Individual Contributions 98.6%

Individual contributions
$79,260,283
(98.6%)

PAC contributions
$7,775
(0.0%)

Candidate self-financing
$0

Other

You posted PAC Contributions, which are a miniscule amount and I'm not even sure that he keeps them.

8. He dropped out because of bad math?

[goodgd_yall]

12. little known component of campaign finance reform

if you are a man running for president of the united states, you have donate five hundred dollars to Walmart for every inch you are short of being 5'10" tall.

[maximusveritas]

10. This is very misleading. You're comparing Edwards for just 2008 with the others from 2003-2008

When you compare just the 2008 numbers, the numbers are very different:
Clinton:

Obama:

11. blatant bullshit.

follow the links, people. these pie charts are for pac contributions only, which, for all 4 of the candidate, is a tiny, tiny, tiny part of their money.
just absolute obfuscation.
