These numbers should be no surprise as all of these candidates have been raising money nonstop. I hope we will not have to wait until April 15 to get the report from the campaign of Senator Obama. As the Times suggested, I think his announcement will be a big one. I am anxious to see how his small donation figures compare to Sen. Clinton. If her reporting is accurate, that 80% of her 50,000 donors gave in amounts under $100, that means that at most they contributed $400,000; not exactly substantial in the grand scheme and a tiny share of her $36 million war chest.
