Democrats receive the majority of cash from businesses, lobbies, foundations, rich Democrats, etc. Republicans on the other hand receive the majority of money from individuals. Most people are not aware of this fact. The majority of $10,000 checks and over go to Democrats. The individual Republican voter has no problem sending in a check to a candidate they support. Some even send money to the RNC. The Democratic voter base today is what? You know the answer. A much smaller percentage of individuals sends checks to the Democrats.
I was surprised to discover that this is true. The average donation to the GOP is around $200.00...given by private individuals. There are two factors hurting the DEMs fund-raising right now. First, they have several candidates, which is spliting their base. Second, as a result of campaign finance reform their largest souce of cash is gone.
