13. *puts devils advocate cap on*

Are ten donations of $200 different than one donation of $2000?

In other words, do these numbers account for multiple donations from the same people.

[Nazgul35]

15. it's the total amount

given by individuals....if you give three contributions of $100 you would read as having given $300.00....

[SahaleArm]

16. No idea but I'd like to see Clark get lots of $250/dollar donations...

since he's doing this under public financing for the primaries.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. No.

Some people can only afford $200(or $20 times 100) at a time. Few can afford a $2000 shot. This information is compelling, imo.

[eileen_d]

20. OK, thanks

I've always wondered about that. I agree it is interesting information.

[babzilla]

18. yes, the #'s account for multiple donations

ten donations of $200=$2000

[RUMMYisFROSTED]
