		<description>As of October 27, 2008 and according to "opensecrets.org"
The Obama campaign finance reports have disclosed 90.7% of their contrubtions

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?id=N00009638

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?id=N00006424&#38;cycle2=2008&#38;goButt2.x=10&#38;goButt2.y=6

while McCain has only 87.1% that is a more than 3% differenece, maybe the polls will be just as close.

Chuck Baldwin    79.3%
Bob Barr         63.1%
Cynthia McKinney 76.6%

&lt;strong&gt;Reply from Mike@obamashrugged:&lt;/strong&gt;Unfortunately, these numbers are rather misleading.  Opensecrets &lt;a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/scofflaw_pop.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;only reports on those donations above $200&lt;/a&gt;: "METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported by the candidates to the Federal Election Commission."  However, our problem is with the over $180 million worth of online donations that fall below the $200 threshold.  These are the potentially fraudulent donations that Obama refuses to disclose.  </description>

		<description>How are donations refunded?

Obama's campaign keeps claiming that bad donations are being given back.  How is this being done?  Are the credit card numbers of the donations being tracked, and donations charged back to those credit cards?  Can chargebacks be done to gift cards?  Are refunds instead being done by mailing a check to the name and address of the donor?  Is interest until the check is cashed being kept?  If a check is used but the name or address is wrong, what happens to the money?  Is it legal to send a check if a fake donor claimed to be a (real) third party?  (If I gave an illegal $25,000 donation in his Auntie's name and address, would she get a check?)

Who has John Galt's money?</description>
