In 2008 a German woman in my office (in Switzerland) mentioned she really like Obama, had just sent him a donation. I asked how - that it was illegal for U.S. presidential candidates to accept foreign donations. She suddenly became very unwilling to discuss the issue. I honestly believe there was a lot of foreign money from small donors in the last election, true believers (and socialists). Don’t think that kind of money is coming in this time, will be interesting to see if any trace will be made to the supposed small donations this time. The numbers are simply unbelievable - a statistician should be able to survey Americans and find out if anything close to the number of donors really made any sort of donation to zero.
