In the discussion thread: Obama Sees Steep Dropoff in Cash From Major Donors [View all]

31. He's getting tons of support from small donors

That is a fact. I know it is popular at DU to claim the Dem base has abandoned Obama but that is not factual.

Small donors are contributing, there are lots of them, and it is adding up.

What is not happening is liberal millionaires donating to the PACs supporting Obama.

Per Bill Maher, the liberal millionaires erroneously think Obama will just walk away with the election easily. So they don't see a need to donate large. Have seen similar in another New York Times article.

That's why Maher donated a million in such a public way - to try to wake up Hollywood millionaires.

It is not going to be a cakewalk. Koch Bros and Rove Crossroads are going to spend Billions to Swiftboat Obama and all Democratic candidates.
