Stumpin’ for my favorite candiate

Well, that was fun. I just contributed $25 to Barack Obama’s campaign as a first time donor and my contribution was instantly matched by someone named Matt in Illinois. Then, I was given the opportunity to pay if forward. The next time someone contributes $10, another of my own $10 will be added to it. That’ $70 he won’t have to take from some special interest group. Or, thinking more pessimistically, we just paid for the dinner napkins at his next fundraiser.
