Bringing People Together ... To Give Me Money
Barack Obama's campaign has launched a new financial intiative, getting individual contributors to give money and have their donation matched by another supporter who agreed to match that amount.
"This isn't an anonymous donor program backed by big checks from Washington lobbyists or corporate fat cats," Obama campaign mgr David Plouffe writes in his email. "This is a one-to-one, supporter-to-supporter effort. If you make a donation, you'll be matched up with a real person -- another supporter who has put their faith in you. And you'll be able to read a note from them and send a response."
Talk about the politics of bringing people together.... soul mates find love through the Obama giving program, elderly IA pig farmer gets email from Greenpeace activist, the two meet and share veggie burger....
Just another way the Obama campaign is a pale imitation of those who paved the way.
The DNC did this in Election 2006.

Another way snark imitates life: If I recall correctly there was at least one married couple who met and married because of the Howard Dean campaign....
If I recall correctly, the DNC ran a similar fundraising push in '05 or '06.
