View Full Version : FEC reporting from Politico-

McCain, the Arizona senator who has emerged as the front-runner, raised $6.8 million but had to take out a loan to keep his campaign afloat. Romney, the wealthy former Massachusetts governor, brought in $9 million in contributions but loaned his campaign twice that amount. Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, raised $6.6 million. And topping the field with an impressive $19.7 million raised in the fourth quarter was Paul, the libertarian-leaning Texas congressman, though he barely registers in polls.

Taking into account the full year, Clinton and Obama outraised the four remaining Republicans $209 million to $128 million in 2007.

Highlighting the cash-flow disparity — and overshadowing the reports — Obama on Thursday voluntarily announced that his campaign raised a staggering $32 million in the month since the close of the reporting period. That's the most ever raised in January of an election year, and it indicates his campaign will be able to pay for a raft of ads as the campaigns hurtle toward the expensive showdown in 22 states on Feb. 5, Super Tuesday.

All the campaigns will be required to reveal their January hauls on Feb. 20 now that the FEC calendar is shifting to monthly reporting. That filing will provide a more real-time assessment of the campaigns' financial viabilities and answer key questions, including how much Romney, whose personal fortune is estimated to be worth as much as $250 million, has loaned to his campaign.

I found my name but the only donations it lists are for the 16th money bomb. I also gave on 11/5 and another day that I can't remember right now. Since my donations came out of my bank account, I sure hope they got counted! :eek:

None of my three donations are listed and neither is the one my husband made. Seems very odd.

"...he barely registers in polls."

That was accurate when he was under the margin of error, but now it should be more like "he lingers in the upper single digits."

I am amazed that this has not talked about at all in the media today...

I know they are in "blackout mode", but this is pretty big news.

is this supposed to include ALL donations made online to the campaign? cause it's definitely not including all of them for me.

It only included one of my donations, not all of them. Strange...

Not all of mine show up either. Don't know what to make of it.

It included only two of mine and there were 6. I don't get it. The two that show up were $100 and $25 (on the 16th) but the $100 and $25 on 11/5 aren't there nor are the other two odd amounts which were given in October and November. Veerrryyy interesting....

Unfortunately, nothing amazes me at this point. I feel like we're all in this bizarro world.

This http://www.fec.gov/ is a useful tool to send literature to contributors of candidates that dropped out.

Just look at how he gets most of his money from under 200 dollar donations, then look at the other "front runners" who get mostly MAX donations, all you gotta do is go there to see who is establishment...

For those who don't see their donations.

It is my understanding that the campaign only reports (as required) information on individual donations over $200.

So if you donated $100 on 5 different days, yes it is tracked and reported, but MY UNDERSTANDING is that your personal info is not shown on the FEC report.

I am in for about $600 total right now, and my name has never shown up due to never having a single donation over $200.

I could be wrong but this is what I ahve been told.

10 dollar donations are showing up at my zip code but not mine :(

Original Intent - that's why i donated more than $200 on the 16th, but there are several small donations that show up as well for others. it just doesn't make sense.... oh well, wish i had ALL of the donors for my zip listed. Only a small portion of my donations have been listed.

Even without this, we still kicked ass though. kudos to the '052 - 98052. More than double Romney, more than triple McCain, more than double Clinton and about $4k more than Obama.

The only thing that showed up for me was a donation of 100 dollars.

did anyone notice that Ron Paul's form is off the main list now, but Obama's is now up?

and why are Huckabee's subject to "limitation?"

I donated 100 a few times. And I've donated less than a hundred a few times and all of my donations seem to have showed up. My mother donated twice and her's didn't show up.

So since all those who donated, arent even showing up, does that mean you can donate again? This could be especially helpful for those that are maxxed out already. :D

If you are referring to the state-based map for the presidential race, that data was last updated on Dec 31,2007.
