	2 Comments: The MSM will have a hay day with this on Monday. They'll ignore that California was the largest contributor, and hone in on the per capita numbers, putting Utah in first. But 11M in cash? That's great. With only 40K unique donors, I am guessing many people have been holding back to test his legitimacy. Now that Romney is bonafide, I predict more people will be jumping on the bandwagon. By Anonymous, at April 14, 2007 at 1:05 AM Let's assume that all of his unique donors (32000) max out their contributions. That means if there is no growth in his donor base, he will still be able to raise 73.6 million dollars. Wow! Now, let's assume that the donor base grows at a modest 4% each month. In ten months, it would translate into 109 million. It is not unrealistic to see it happen. If the campaign is out there reading this, may I suggest a tactic. Not sure if it legal or if there is an ethical problem, but since the other campaigns have listed their donors, would it not make sense to contact these people on these lists as well? If you only get a 5% response rate that still is a valuable, untapped market. By Anonymous, at April 14, 2007 at 11:18 PM Post a Comment
