My worry is that the legacy of this period is not large numbers of small donors but large numbers of dollars. If you have Obama level assets, you can, memory may well claim, do an Obama style campaign. So the early to middle fund raising will focus on the amount rather than the source. Present regulations may limit that but wouldn't be surprised to see those either raised or so hedge with qualifiers as to be totally ineffective. One more thought. Obama's small donor base. I think we are going to learn over the next several months that there were two keys to this--Obama's personal pull and the organizational skills of his fund raising effort--personnel and technology. The combination may be hard to impossible to replicate.
