http://news.yahoo.com/clinton-campaign-says-raises-28m-past-3-months-004118532--election.htmlThe bulk of Clinton's total came from fundraisers hosted by big donors across the country, many held in the traditionally Democratic treasure-chests of Manhattan and Hollywood. She raised at least $19 million from about 60 events where admission typically cost $2,700, the biggest donation allowed by law.
Sanders' total was fueled almost entirely by small donations, largely given online, underscoring the draw of his insurgent campaign among the grassroots of the Democratic Party. The campaign has held just seven traditional fundraisers since launching at the end of April, said Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs, compared to a total of more than 110 for Clinton over the same period....
"We have a chance to send an unmistakable message about the size and strength of our campaign," Sanders tweeted on Wednesday, urging supports to donate. With just a few hours left in the day, he emailed supporters, "Chip in $3 before the midnight FEC deadline as a way of saying you have had enough of the billionaire class buying our elections."

(14,733 posts)I think we're seeing what happens when you rely on one shot $2700 donors. They give you that early boost, to make you look 'inevitable', but then they're off the table, spent gamepieces. Sanders donors are more committed, and far more able to continue dropping cash in the box month after month, since most of them won't ever come near the $2700 limits, no matter how often they donate.
