Obama by the Number$

The number of donors and size of contributions to Obama's campaign is unprecedented and incredibly impressive.

From the Washington Post...

• 3 million donors made a total of 6.5 million donations online adding up to more than $500 million.
• Of those 6.5 million donations, 6 million were in increments of $100 or less.
• After Sarah Palin dismissed the value of community organizing in her speech at the Republican National Convention -- "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities," -- Obama raised $10 million within 24 hours.
• Obama's e-mail list contains upwards of 13 million addresses.
• In total, more than 1 billion e-mails landed in inboxes. (Four years ago, Sen. John F. Kerry had 3 million e-addresses on his list; former Vermont governor Howard Dean had 600,000.)
• On MyBarackObama.com 2 million profiles were created. In addition, 200,000 offline events were planned, about 400,000 blog posts were written and more than 35,000 volunteer groups were created.
• Some 3 million calls were made in the final four days of the campaign using MyBO's virtual phone-banking platform.
• On their own MyBO fundraising pages, 70,000 people raised $30 million.
