I thought this was really cool.

80% of contributions to Obama are $35 or less. I wonder what it's like for Romney.

Also, I may have underestimated how much my mom is into Marvel now...

She just gave me a countdown that in 12 hours, we will be watching The Amazing Spider-Man and that she expects me to be ready in 11 hours...

First, she's the one to suggest hitting up a comic book store, now this...

I think her training is complete. Short of actually reading a comic, there is no more I can do for her.

Man, you're mom is A-Level Nerd Awesome!
& Here I'm over here still trying to convince my mother of the flawlessness of Tom Hiddleston.

;---;
I will prevail though - I've gotten her to stan Benedict Cumberbatch - Tom is next!

( Also - just got her to start reading 'The Hobbit' so I can be 'surprise! Benedict's in this too! )

I think I read some stats on that recently, lemme see.. here's a bit about the May totals: http://www.wnyc.org/articles/its-free-country/2012/jun/08/explainer-did-obama-or-romney-raise-more-money-small-donors/

"Here’s where it gets weird: Obama was out-raised despite having over 250,000 more donors than Romney. And while Obama got $30 million out of over 11,000 people donating more than $250, Romney got almost $65 million from over 22,000 people donating more than $250. That’s twice as much money from twice as many deep pockets.

Here’s where it gets weirder: the average small donation to the Obama campaign was $54.94, while the average small donation to Romney was about $40.

In other words, there appears to be less of a “middle class” of Romney donors. The average Romney small donor is giving less than the average Obama small donor; a large donor is twice as likely to have given to Romney than to Obama. The rich give richer; the not-as-rich, not as much.

Using figures provided by each campaign, the average of all donations to Obama appears to be around $104. For Mitt Romney, the average is $240."

80% percent of Obama's contributors are probably the working middle class, you know we teachers, police officer, fire fighters, and public health workers Romney doesn't think the nation needs.

I wonder if your Mum is my age--I grew up with Marvel when Marvel cartoons, (and Mattel toys) began to take over the Saturday Morning Looney toons spots.

Heh. Good that your mom is into Marvel!
