In a true victory for the Grasroots/Netroots, Sen. Edwards made 80% of his first-quarter $14M from $100-or-smaller contributions.

From today's Edwards for President email:


Overall, here's the story of our first quarter fundraising success by the numbers:

  * Total raised: Over $14 million (nearly twice what we raised this quarter last time around)
  * Total contributors: 40,000, representing every state of the union
  * Grassroots victory: 80 percent of all contributions were $100 or less

I think that's an incredible stat, and I'd love to know similar stats for the other candidates.
