I have no reason to challenge the grass roots support that Obama claims. Still, this would seem to suggest that there is a certain amount of hype in the "record" pace.

I also see a big loophole here in all the campaign finance reform alarmism of recent years. Could I buy 10,000 Brownback for president t-shirts after already maximizing my legal donations for the cycle? Seems to demonstrate the silliness of such laws.
