$150 Million

That is what Barack Obama raised in September, twice what the Republican Party raised for McCain. The more important number is in who gave the money.
In a videotaped message included in an e-mail to supporters, David Plouffe, the Obama campaign manager, said that Mr. Obama had added 632,000 new donors in September, bringing the campaign’s total to 3.1 million. The average contribution, Mr. Plouffe said, was $86.

“The two groups that have given us the most contributions are retirees and students, which shows how Barack’s call for change has spanned the generations,” Mr. Plouffe said. “Nurses, teachers, small business owners. It really is the fabric of America that has built this campaign.”
Two points, it is very doubtful that the Republicans have anywhere near that many donors and if you give someone your money you will also give them your vote. And if you can't afford to donate, don't worry, you can always give Obama/Biden your vote.

Do your part to save America.
