For Shit's Sake, the Man's Worth $32 Million

Gmail relayed me some excellent news this afternoon.

Although it wasn't surprising that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Il.) raised over $32.5 million, I was alarmed by how well the campaign is doing - definitely a record-setter.

To break down the slightly more than $32.5 million:

Money break down
- $31 million is for use in the Democratic primary
- $1.5 million is for use in the General election
Donor breakdown (this quarter)
- 154,000 different donors have donated money during the second quarter
Total breakdown
- 258,000 different donors have donated money in the entirety of the campaign
- $58 million has been raised to be used by Barack Obama at some point in the path to the presidency

Need I say more?
