Re: 10 huge donors over 1000 small donors (none / 0)

You all apparently did not read what I wrote.  For instance, a fundraiser last September (I beleive), to be a "host" one had to raise $50K on top of their maximum $2k (yes I am aware of McCain Feingold despite what you claim -- and this is legal as long as the money does not come from one person's checks).  Small donors cannot raise that kind of money.  This also takes a huge burden off the campaign's finance staff.  

This is the only way to but network primetime TV ads and bulk direct mail which are the only ways to reach a sizable portion of your voting block.  You can have all the foot soldiers you want, but you'll never get the same results as TV and direct mail.  

And, to qualify, I am not saying ignore the small donors.  I am merely saying I would prefer 10 big donors over 1000 small ones.
