Small donors give big to Obama

Sen. Barack Obama relied on donors large and small to seize the lead in the presidential money race, and far outpaced his rivals by tapping people who give less than $200, his campaign finance report filed Sunday shows. The La time said that the Illinois democrat disclosed that Obama got $9.7 million of the $33 million he raised in the second quarter of 2007 came in increments of less then $200 a very large number that surprises campaign finance experts. Obama raised $58.5 million in the first of the year. I feel that this is unfair to the other candidates that do not have enough money to compete in the race.

While raising too much money may seem as giving an unfair advantage, I am sincerely impressed to find that unlike many who ignore the limits on funding, Obama is being honorable in the cases where he raised much money from many who donated in small increments.

You should not feel about for the other candidates. They are just not as supported as Obama is. This just shows that his supporters are fighting for him.
