whoever said that the best candidate is the one with the most money? no one. a lot of obama's support comes from the younger demographic like college students, which may play some role in the lack of individual funding since we all know college students rarely have that much cash to give. being a college student myself, i've donated what i can, which is understandably not that much. and again with the corporations..is it that big of a deal to you that some companies support obama? i went over it before, so i'll just remind you that the reason pharm companies back obama is because his policies will benefit their company, not because they want to control him. other than that i don't have much to say about that lack of donating, it sucks to see. but like you said, money doesn't determine the quality of the candidate.
