Obama fundraising machine slows down (dow t0 $22M in may; mccain at $21M)

[Wretched Excess]

there are a thousand good reasons why his fundraising has trailed off, and why it will pick
right back up with a vengeance during the summer.  but wouldn't it be cool if all of those
anonymous small donors were suddenly tapped out from beating hillary into submission?

I really wish I knew who those 1.5 million "small donors" were.  I'll bet it's an interesting list.

Obama fundraising machine slows down

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Democrat Barack Obama reported Saturday his most modest fundraising haul of the year following his unprecedented decision to reject public financing for his White House bid.

Obama collected just under 22 million dollars in May, the last month of campaigning in his grueling nominating duel with Senator Hillary Clinton, according to figures released by the Federal Election Commission.

Until last month, Obama had raised one million dollars a day, or no less than 31 million dollars a month between January and April.

For his part, Republican rival John McCain broke his own record in May, but his 21 million dollars still left him behind Obama's fundraising juggernaut.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that the GOP edge was ``no surprise,'' asserting that McCain's acceptance of donations from lobbyists and political action committees gives him an advantage that only can be overcome ``with the help of our grassroots supporters.''

and it's all in less than $100 chunks, and it's all virtually anonymous.  I don't think I believe a word of that, by the way.  I'd like to know who is bankrolling this guy.
