Report: Obama Has More Female Donors Than Hillary

By Greg Sargent - February 5, 2008, 3:18PM
A pretty interesting finding buried in a new report from the Center for Responsive Politics:

Clinton has outraised Obama with women—$35.1 million to his $28.8 million—but his campaign finance reports list more female donors—29,000 versus her 25,000. Clinton and Obama's percentages from women are about even—45 percent of her total and 43 percent of his.

Keep in mind that the number of donors is the key stat -- and on that front, Obama has raised money from more female contributors than Hillary has. These numbers refer to all of 2007.

Meanwhile, Think Progress points to another noteworthy stat: Obama has raised more cash from members of the military -- $94,000 -- than any other Dem, Hillary included.

Obama's record-breaking Jan. fund-raising ($32 million) more two times Hillary's ($13.5 million)

3. How DARE women be so sexist and not donate to the woman candidate!

:wow:


Gee, is it possible some people are thinking of factors other than the purely superficial? We're doomed if we can actually transcend superficial things...

4. lol. they'll be here shortly.

making all sorts of accusations and innuendoes and redefinitions about what real feminism is.

the new feminism is voting for a woman candidate who prefers war and protecting big corps and their piggy banks. :(

5. And we can't mention the other type of discrimination that is being

pushed against Hillary...

8. Hillary is not a victim! Is it okay for some feminists to be

disgusting?
