You may take it anyway you like it, the simple fact is thousands of supporters of Obama sent in small checks, there influence was small; under a hundred have sent big checks to Romney, their influence has been large (as anyone who is listening to Gov. Romney's stump speech understands).
A vote for Romney is a vote for Plutocracy.
Hack-tastic
First of all Obama has out-raised Romney in both small contributors as well as the large ones who write the big fat checks. Overall Obama (to date) has raised around twice as much dough as Romney.

What your quibbling about is the percentage difference between the two's income. Well over half of Obama's income comes from large donors, while in Romney's case it's closer to seventy five percent or more. (so far)
!!! Point missed. It is not only the amount donated, it is who donated. Consider who needs to influence the president? A Movie Mogul or a Coal/Oil Mogul?
As November comes closer watch for those differences to come closer together (especially after the conventions). Small donors are no longer dividing up their donations and a growing number will start paying attention to the race.
If you think we are not in a Plutocracy now, but "a vote for Romney" will put us over the edge and bring one about... you are a hack. I happen to believe we are a democratic Republic and will remain one whoever wins. My vote is not for sale at any price.
