The latest salvo in the Presidential hopeful's Web campaign is a site designed to process a million dollars in 60 seconds
Below are some snippets from the article:
As the Democratic Presidential hopefuls approach Pennsylvania's Apr. 22 vote, Senator Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) campaign, trailing in statewide polls, is set to get a shot in the arm. Later this week, a small band of independent Obama supporters plans to launch another new fund-raising Web site, anobamaminute, with the goal of raising $1 million dollars in one minute.
anobamaminute calls for pledgers (who can pre-register) to register a donation within 60 seconds, at 1pm on Apr. 21. Could the site be interpreted as just another stunt in an environment where $1 million isn't what it used to be? "There is certainly an element of theater," admits one member of Obama's national finance committee who's familiar with the project (the campaign is participating to make sure all contributions meet federal giving requirements). But, it is also another ambitious fund-raising effort in a political season marked by campaigns that have aggressively pushed the boundaries of raising money, both off and online.
Manhattan-based photographer Scott Cohen is the ardent Obama fan who conceived of the project and commissioned Clever Design to create the site.
Analysts say the site further underscores the engagement and enthusiasm that has buoyed Obama's campaign. "Obama is already the greatest fund-raising success in American history," says Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "This is another wrinkle, another innovation that confirms the Internet's potential."
I don't know if this project has been given any attention thus far on dkos so I figured I offer a heads up for anyone interested in participating but were unaware of the effort.
Updated: For those wishing to participate, registration begins this coming Thursday, April 10th, at anobamaminute. Once you are registered you will be sent instructions on how to make your donation count in the project.
