President san antonio hotel valencia floorplans Obama s spin through Washington state last month hel

President san antonio hotel valencia floorplans Obama s spin through Washington state last month helped add more than $560,000 to his campaign coffers, putting holiday travel park the state in the top 10 go-to places the president tapped in May for his re-election bid, according to the latest campaign-finance reports.
The amount is more than three times what Republican challenger Mitt Romney holiday travel park raised san antonio hotel valencia floorplans in direct contributions to his campaign from Washington san antonio hotel valencia floorplans last month. But it s a pittance compared with the big money being hauled in by the so-called super PACs that can spend unlimited amounts on a candidate s behalf.
An analysis by the political website Politico showed that Romney, san antonio hotel valencia floorplans his super PAC allies and the Republican Party bested the president in total fundraising last month, raking in $86 million, about $21 million more than team Obama.
The state is considered a safe bet for Obama, who passed through Seattle on a one-day fundraising sweep in May for a $35,800-per-couple fundraiser at the Lake Washington home of Ann and Bruce Blume, and a $1,000-per-person fundraising concert and rally at the Paramount Theatre.
san antonio hotel valencia floorplans Campaign san antonio hotel valencia floorplans records show that the date of the president s fundraisers was the third-best day for Obama s campaign in May, the period covered by the most recent campaign filings. May 9, when the president announced his support for gay marriage, proved to be the second-biggest day for the campaign, with $1.83 million raised nationally, records show.
The latest campaign-finance reports show that Obama has raised $4.9 million in Washington for his re-election effort over the past 13 months. That compares with $1.5 million for Romney over the same period, although holiday travel park the former Massachusetts governor only became the all-but-official Republican nominee in May.
Still, so far the president has raised less money from Washington this election than he did in 2008. At this time four years ago, he had banked about $754,000 more from donors in the state than this time around, holiday travel park according to campaign-finance records.
In the previous election, Obama s team boasted that nearly san antonio hotel valencia floorplans half of the total number of contributions nationally came in amounts of $200 or less. (An analysis holiday travel park by the nonpartisan Campaign Finance holiday travel park Institute later showed that some donors gave that amount several times, and the number of small donors who contributed $200 or less was 26 percent.) Small donors still make up a large portion of the donations.
Lisa Fitzhugh, of Seattle, gave $2,300 san antonio hotel valencia floorplans to Obama in 2008. She said she still plans to vote for him in November, but will not contribute this year because she no longer believes in politics as a vehicle holiday travel park san antonio hotel valencia floorplans for change.
I have gotten pretty disillusioned by the whole political situation, holiday travel park said Fitzhugh, a consultant and former executive holiday travel park director of Arts Corps, a nonprofit she founded to support and provide arts education in public schools. Everyone s angry and trying to pick a fight. That is so uninspiring, and so far afield holiday travel park from where we need to be.
Although most of Obama s donors give smaller amounts, the president also has benefited from rich supporters who not only give to the candidate and the national Democratic Party, but tap into their social and professional networks to raise money for him. Those supporters are called bundlers because they deliver the checks they collect to the candidate in one large bundle.
An analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization that examines the role of money in politics, identified 532 bundlers to Obama s campaign as of March 31. Among the top bundlers from Washington:
Donors connected to Microsoft constituted the largest group of contributors to Obama in 2008, and they remained top donors this election cycle, accounting for about $348,000 through March, according to the Center for Responsive Politics website, opensecrets.org .
Some of those donations have gone to political-action committees (PACs) supporting the president, holiday travel park including Priorities USA Action, which has raised nearly $18.6 million for Obama s re-election. Two $1,000 contributions to the super PAC are the largest san antonio hotel valencia floorplans local donations so far, according to finance records.
Romney fared better with wealthier donors. Most of the money to his campaign san antonio hotel valencia floorplans nationally san antonio hotel valencia floorplans has come from people who gave $2,000 or more. He s also benefiting from large donations to Restore Our Future, a super PAC supporting him.
Local contributions to Restore include $75,000 from Walter Schlaepfer, a Merrill Lynch financial adviser holiday travel park from Bellevue; $60,000 from Wayne Perry, owner of Shotgun Creek Investments in Medina; and $50,000 from Buena Vista Investments of Seattle. Gordon Sondland, a real-estate investor, hotel operator and major Republican contributor, is listed in state records as Buena Vista s manager.
