Give a Little, Get a Lot of Mixed Reviews

Small donors to the 2004 election campaign had mixed results on the outcome. Democrats got more money from the $200-and-under crowd -- collecting $166 million in small donations. Republicans rounded up $157 million in small gifts. Both were bigger amounts than in 2000, but overall, the small donors made up a smaller percentage of campaign contributions to the major parties. That means the big donors gave even more -- diluting even further the voice of small donors. (CNN)
