Obama Has Early Fund-Raising Lead for 2012 Elections - NYTimes.com

President Obama recruited roughly 150 new elite donors, raising as much as a half a million dollars each, to help propel him to a large and early lead over his Republican opponents in the race for campaign cash, according to campaign filings released last week....

Thirty-one of his bundlers collected in excess of $500,000 each in contributions, according to the campaign....

The largest individual checks Mr. Obama raised — up to $30,800 per donor — went to a joint account with the Democratic National Committee, which can accept contributions far in excess of the $5,000 Mr. Obama may accept from any individual person over the course of his campaign.

The R's, of course, are just as bad or worse. But none of them have revealed their details yet.
