Several Presidential Campaigns Rev Small-Dollar Donor Engines, While Others Sputter

OpenSecrets:
"Towering head and shoulders above the other GOP candidates in terms of money raised from small-dollar donors in terms of a percentage of their total takes is Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), the founder of the House Tea Party Caucus.

Bachmann, who officially announced her presidential campaign in June and has taken an early lead in recent polls in Iowa, reported $1.6 million in new contributions during the second quarter. Of these, two-thirds -- more than $1 million -- came from small-dollar donors."
