Driving home the point:

In the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Obama has clearly taken the lead in the fundraising battle. His approach of collecting smaller donations from more people has proven to be a better solution than Clinton’s approach of targeting donors who contribute large amounts of money.

However, there is another name in the 2008 Presidential Race that deserves an honorable mention: Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas. Also targeting smaller donations, Huckabee has good success in gathering a large total from smaller contributions (under $200).

“Voters are looking for a fresh face,” Huckabee said on CNN’s America Morning today. “They are looking for somebody who understands the struggle in the middle class, who is championing the calls of small business.” (The Washington Post)
