that is probably a misleading headline. they are just scratching the surface. I am glad this is finally
getting some scrutiny, and the mccain campaign filing a complaint with the FEC undoubtedly started
it all. those "millions and millions" of anonymous donors have bothered me since the primaries.

Obama money from abroad could total $3.3 million
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission.

The FEC on Monday provided The Associated Press with a spread sheet of potential overseas donors that did not include contributors who left their state designation blank. As a result, the list was incomplete.
The $3.3 million total does not include donors who have given less than $200 and whose contributions do not have to be itemized. Some of that money could also have come from overseas. About half of Obama's $455 million in contributions so far are unitemized. The campaign does not identify those donors.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, speaking to reporters en route to Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday, noted that anyone can donate to the campaign through the Internet. "We monitor these things as best we can," he said.
Republican John McCain's campaign lists all his donors, even those who give less than $200, on his Web site.
