68.4 percent of Obama's money has come from donors giving $999 or less in the 2012 campaign.

36.2 percent of Romney's money has come from donors giving $999 or less in the 2012 campaign.

in the age of the citizens united ruling, this statistic is crucial. it's very telling. it runs back to the 2010 tea party push that was believed to be "grassroots" when it was anything but.

the difference in campaign donations between parties gets larger when it goes to the state level. democrats ALWAYS have more incremental donations from more people. look at the mass senate race. warren has 99% of her donations all under $100. politicians tend to pander to those who would fund their campaign. i would love to have a scott brown supporter chime in and tell me why they think this difference is so large. he has quite a "folksy" campaign when his donors are anything but.
