I think that this was where Obama slaughtered Hillary and McCain in contributions. Obama went after the smaller donors where Hillary was going after the big money. When she needed more her donors were already at the limit allowed. Obama's donors were free to give more. Non-profit groups can learn from this strategy With regards to number 3 I think someone from the Obama campaign was reading your blog.

So by all means trim costs internally, but keep the momentum of progress moving forward.<br><br>Donors like to invest in "winners". There money goes the furthest that way. I agree with you.
