Obama Fundraising: Half is Secret Money

it's cute how this right wing "news" organization thinks that Obama should release the names of the private citizens who have donated to his campaign.

But Obama easily could outpace McCain by $50 million to $100 million or more in new donations before Election Day, thanks to a legion of small contributors whose names and addresses have been kept secret.

speaking as one of those small donors I'd be REALLY pissed off if my name and address were released publically.
