Campaign Finance Snippets for Romney (R) vs. Obama (D)
….While Obama leads the overall fundraising race, Romney does hold the lead in 13 states, including Utah and Connecticut. The state where the fundraising race is the closest is Mississippi, in which the two candidates are separated by just $256. With $553.2 million spent on the campaign trail so far, Obama has outpaced Romney’s $360.4 million spent over the same time period. With $167.9 million in donations from donors giving the maximum donation, Romney is ahead of Obama in that category. Obama has raised $70.5 million from similar donors. Obama has benefited from the support of small donors, or those who make contributions of less than $200. Donations such as these have totaled $344.7 million, or 70.7% of his total contributions received so far.
The best state for Obama to raise money in thus far has been California with $16 million in donations. He’s received the fewest dollars from North Dakota. The state with the highest average donation is New York with an average donation around $850. The lowest average donation has also come from North Dakota.

“Computers are now doing many things that used to be the domain of people only.
The pace and scale of this encroachment into human skills is relatively recent and has profound economic implications.
Perhaps the most important of these is that while digital progress grows the overall economic pie, it can do so while leaving some people, or
even a lot of them, worse off.”
