Barack spoke about how this campaign has been and will be supported by ordinary Americans earlier today...
We haven't just sort of done better with small donors, we've revolutionized how campaigns are financed [by] small donors. We've revolutionized how campaigns are financed at the presidential level. Ninety-percent of our donors are by donations of $200 or less. Ninety-percent. So the overwhelming bulk of the 1.7 million donors that we get money from are ordinary Americans. Not fat cats. We don't take special interest money in the form of PAC donations. We don't take money from federal lobbyists. ...And so if you look at how we fund our campaign, we are more reliant on small donors and ordinary Americans than any campaign in history. ...Our donor base is the American people.
This is your Wednesday night open thread...
