Obama Reports 3.1M Donors, Tops ’08

Source: ABC News

President Obama has amassed a donor base of 3.1 million Americans in his bid for a second term, surpassing his total from four years ago, Obama campaign officials announced today.

An infographic circulated by the campaign on Twitter shows Obama drawing significant support from small-dollar and repeat donors.

Two million supporters have given $25 or less in aggregate, the campaign reports. More than 1.4 million have given more than once this election cycle.

Underscoring the president’s support among women, the campaign said three women donated for every two men.

1. But the lazy corporate media tells us that there is not as much enthusiasm as 4 years ago

I don't need to have a chill up my spine or a quasi-religious experience to vote and donate money.

A vote is a vote and money is money.

6. I'm one of those repeat donors

Between $25 and $200 a pay period, depending on what else has been on my plate.

Probably will get so annoyed at the Romney-Ryan-Rove nonsense that I'll ratchet up to $200 a paycheck starting this month.

To paraphrase my man Chuck-D, "When I get mad I put it down on a pad, heh / Give ya somethin' thatcha never had."
