Both Obama and Romney have suspended their campaign travels, and some have wondered how Hurricane Sandy will affect the election outcome. Weather has often been a determinant of political outcomes, as noted in Foreign Policy magazine.
Another aspect of the US presidential election that has many wondering is how the role of campaign contributions will affect the outcome. ProPublica compiled all the available information about these contributions (much of which is still unknown, so these statistics are incomplete). It created a graph showing the major contributors to the various campaign organizations. What is most stunning about the information is how little we actually know about the largest contributors. I am certain that those who wrote the US Constitution never anticipated such an outcome.
Now we know the situation is serious!
