Have you checked on who is contributing?

There is a site: http://www.fec.gov/disclosurep/pnational.do that is pretty current. Unlike Fundrace, every donation, no matter how small, is included. You can look at each zip code and sort the results by amount, donor name, etc. I was pleased to see at least one person I had pegged as a Republican gave $2,500 to the Obama campaign. I was also disappointed to see friends and acquaintances who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. I was amazed at how many donors to the Obama campaign in my area are retirees.

Mine didnt show either because it was one for 10 and one for 5. That's all I could afford

This site is what the campaigns report to the FEC. It may vary from state to state.
