Did you try this with McCain’s site too? Yesterday on another board someone was claiming that they had donated in the name of Mickey Mouse to McCain and their donation was accepted. If you check this out could you please post what happens to this thread.

RE: McCain's site too?

"The (Obama) campaign’s records reveal big contributors with names like “Doodad Pro” (employer: “Loving,” profession: “You") and “Good Will” (same employer and profession). Both donated via credit card. Other reports have suggested that some donations come from overseas - raising the question of whether Obama is accepting donations from foreigners, another violation of federal law.

So a test was devised::

He returned to the Obama site and made three more donations using the names Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and Bill Ayers, all with different addresses but the same credit card. The transactions all went through. By Saturday, he’d reported that the transactions had all posted to his credit-card account.

In another test, the National Journal sends a dodgy donation to the Obama and McCain camps:

The Obama campaign’s Web site accepted the $25 donation, but the McCain campaign’s Web site rejected it. Rebecca Donatelli, president of Campaign Solutions of Alexandria, Va., which processes donations for John McCain, said her system rejected the donation because American Express could not verify that the donor lived at the address given with the online contribution."

Even Osama could donate to Obama
