re: In other words, the rest are the weak and nameless. Yeah and I suppose it could be said they don't have a REAL vote. The REAL vote comes out of a checkbook.

But, 96% of all people never donate any money at all. 4%(rounded) up to $200. 0.09% from $200 to $1000. This is the silent majority. 0.05% from $1000 to $10,000. They have their existence recognized. 0.002% from $10k to $100k. And a staggering 0.0001% give over $100k. Those are the ones who set policy. So, that means that less than 200k are the ones who really count in the eyes of the pols. In other words, the rest are the weak and nameless. That's why its significant the way Obama is raising his money.
