I just posted this in another thread and it seems far fetched but based upon the numbers the Obama campaign has thrown out.
Assume the $109 per average contribution as he stated at the debate:
Take the total number of contributors for the year: 977,525
Then subtract the 256,000 in January who averaged $142 per contribution
To offset that high number and bring it down to $109 per contribution, take 256,000 donors in Feb and assume they each donated $76 per contribution. $76 + $142 = $218, Divide $218 by two to get an average of $109.
So assume 256,000 February donors averaged about $76 per head for a total of $19,456,000
Then subtract that 256,000 from the total number of February donors (721,000) for a total of 456,000 remaining donors at an average of $109 per donation for a total of $50,685,000
Add those two numbers together and it looks like:
$70,141,000
I dont think this is possible and again I am basing this off of the figures floating out there.
