<<<<< Imagine this map of 2008 donors with 90% of those little dots, gone. That is precisely the contrast between Obama 2008 and Obama 2012.
(From the Washington Free Beacon) : Barack Obama’s reelection campaign has lost nearly
90 percent of its donors from the 2008 election. According to a BuzzFeed analysis
of campaign finance data, 88% of the people who gave $200 or more in 2008 —
537,806 people — have not yet given that sum this year. And this drop-off isn’t
simply an artifact of timing. A full 87% of the people who gave $200 — the sum
that triggers an itemized report to the Federal Elections Commission — through
April of 2008, 182,078 people, had not contributed by the end of last month.
By the way, the BuzzFeed article is comprehensive and well worth the read - blog editor.

Editor's notes: Can you believe this, someone in the Obama camp, actually stopped smoking-up long enough to locate each of the 537,806 people who gave $200 to the Obama campaign in 2008. Imagine this same map with nearly 90% of those locations missing. His grassroots "machine" is in shambles. The 13,000 e-mailers he had in '08 are busy trying to figure out how they are going to pay for their college bills. At this time in 2008, Obama had taken in nearly 10 million dollars in Wall Street donations. Today, that total is closer to 4 million with 10 million going to Romney.
In a word, his campaign is a mess.
