• State Donors See Blue This Election

The Obama campaign claims its average donation is just $86, although the Republican National Committee complained to the Federal Election Commission after media reports highlighted two Obama donors named in records as "Good Will" and "Doodad Pro" who made multiple contributions' of less than $200 that in total exceeded the maximum individual donation levels. [...] Herring, the Broad Ripple shop owner, said she's less concerned about whether Obama's tax policies might hurt her business and more focused on his promises to end the Iraq war and improve the nation's international reputation.

• Obama has Cash, but W.Va. A Challenge: ; Mccain's in-State Total Close to $88,600;; Ill. Senator has Received More Than $208,000

Democrat Barack Obama has attracted more than double the campaign cash in West Virginia compared with Republican John McCain, but the Illinois senator faces an uphill battle to win a state that has voted for a Republican during the past two presidential elections. The latest Federal Election Commission filings also show that Hillary Clinton outspent Obama 3-to-1 last month before the state's May 13 primary. Clinton's drubbing of Obama in that contest - she got 67 percent of the vote - puts Obama's in-state money lead over McCain in context.

• Obama to Amend Report On $800,000 in Spending

S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN - - worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.
