2. I think 04 was 500M.
I could be wrong. This is of course an insane figure. Got systemic corruption yet?

4. It is calculated in stages
The figure being tossed around as the minimum necessary to enter the Democratic Primaries is $50 million dollars. That's why many names will be mentioned, but few will actually be in the top tier of candidates who can actually compete. That is a lot of donors to call.

Seriously, I have no idea, but it's a lot. You need either a lot of rich friends, or be willing to skip the big guys' contributions and go for the grass roots and hope.
