On Friday, the campaign launched an online raffle , with the prize being a seat at a fund-raising dinner that George Clooney is hosting for Obama at his Los Angeles home, on May 10th. For people who want to try and win the prize, which includes round-trip airfare and accommodation in Los Angeles, the suggested donation is just three dollars each.
Drawing on data from the Obama campaign, some media accounts have suggested that grassroots fund-raising is replacing the traditional technique of soliciting big checks from rich people. Obama has certainly raised a lot more money in small donations than Romney, who has had a hard time attracting any. Even now, his campaign is raising most of the money it will rely on in the election from rich people.
By some measures, there are more of them than ever. You just need to count them properly. Some accounts focus too narrowly on the fund-raising figures from individual campaigns. In order to comply with campaign-finance laws, it is channelled through allied groups, such as political-action committees PAC s organized by the two parties, or by outside Super PAC s. In a tax filing last week, the group said that twenty-four donations of over a million dollars have accounted for eighty-seven per cent of its total fund-raising.
Two of the donations were for more than ten million dollars. That figure is no accident. And much of this money has come in large donations. Log in. Show detailed source information?
