How does OBAMA campaign afford so many hourly commercials on many Chicago channels?...

How does the OBAMA campaign afford so many hourly commercials on almost every channel I've watched today? (My TV channels broadcast to Chicago and Lake County, IN)

Be Blessed.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.  

He gets his donations from ordinary citizens like me. He has run a very organized campaign. You would be surprised what $10.00 here and $25.00 there can amount to. 

He also has a lot of wealthy backers like Barbara Striesand, Stevie Wonder ect...

Be Blessed.

Are you saying all his money comes from private invididuals like you and me (limited to contributing no more than $1000 each)?

Perhaps you are right, but do you have a source?

(What I see every day- in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana market:  the several Obama commercials a day on almost every channel I watch - to pay for his own cable channel-for the many ads I see all over the internet - the couple of oversized full four color mailings for Obama.

Note - i do not say anthing is fraudulent, but I just wonder if all the millions come from the average person sending in $1000 each or if there are alternate deep pocket donors. Does anyone have a source they can send me for where this extremely lavish campaign money comes from???

(I also see a local former sheriff who also can afford several very expensive mailings as challenge to the incumbent republican who can't afford half that many mailings) name a few of the vast multi multi million $$ media blitz I've seen. )

I don't begrudge any candidate the honest money he or she can raise, but I just want to know where it comes from.

Thank you to anyone who can give me sources.

Thank you for your reply.

Do you know of sources which break down how much $$$$ comes from where?  I can't believe how much my mailbox, my TV, and most of my Internet places are covered with Obama ads.  I don't begrudge any candidate any of their honest funding - but I am amazed that the media has drawn our attention to this VAST media blitz. (I am in the Chicago metro area - Most I watch have several OBAMA commercials a day - sometimes a couple an hour. We have an OBAMA cable channel. We have gotten expensive 4 color mailings for OBAMA (or for other Democratic candidates or incombents - all oversized and in 4 color. Even a local former sheriff apparently has a HUGE amount of $$$ to do MANY four color mailings (he's running against a Republican incumbent who can't do half as many mailings).

I am not begrudging honest donations, but would like to know where it all came from. Again, I'm asking for sources.

Thank you for your time.
