As Byron mentioned, Obama’s campaign manager’s latest fundraising letter announces:
In the month of June, supporters like you helped raise $52 million.
But more impressive than the number is how you did it. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people contributed to building our campaign for change. Many were first-time donors, giving only what they could afford — and the average donation was just $68.
So maybe his pitch should be, give me $86, and we’ll change the world. People would do it, alas. And then he wouldn’t and they won’t get a rebate. Of any kind.
