My Dinner with Obama

Well, no, not really. Or, not yet. But the Obama campaign is offering anyone who donates any amount by the end of March a chance to have dinner (with four other people) with the candidate. Which, I have to say, would be pretty keen.

An interesting statistic: in February, 94% of the donors to the Obama campaign gave $200 or less. The same was true for only 26% of Clinton donors, and 13% of McCain donors. Clinton has raised 60% of her funds from $1000+ donors; McCain 70%.

I'm not all that much of a populist, but I think that says something.

Well it's obvious isn't it? People that vote for Obama are cheap ;-p

Actually, that thought came to mind. Though, honestly, $200 isn't a small campaign contribution for most people I know.
