He began his campaign with millions of dollars from lobbyists, which he later claimed to have returned.

At present, he is more popular with Wealthy voters over Hillary by about 40 percent.

As for donations bellow $200 Hillary has a 52 % share of her most recent monthly totals, to Obama’s 56 % share, hardly the talk of grassroots run amok.

Again, Obama’s support among the wealthy, is now greater than Hillary’s, and he is steadily beating her in all top money contributions.

As for his internet strategy, it was NOT a matter of necessity- nor was CLinton’s inability initially go after it, a necessity. At no point would he not have survived without donatins bellow 200, and at no point would Hillary survive without them.

These were two different strategies each side chose, and eventually converged.
