(as of 6:00 pm EST., 9-17) The average donation works out to just over $64.00! But only 982? $10.00 anyone?

2. I still want to know is that number includes only active registrations,
or also those who have been tombstoned.

3. Even if active registrations were half that it's still disappointing

10. makes you kinda wonder
about hillary's supporters. she has that $22 million debt and 18 million voters. if each person gave $1.50 her debt would be retired.

15. I just donate at his website.
Today for instance, they had a matching donor thing going. I don't know how the donation through the site works security wise, but I feel safer typing my card numbers directly into Obama's site.

16. Many have donated more than once, like me, making
the average even more pitiful.
