Obama’s campaign donor information too big for the FEC
FEC, media can’t handle Obama jackpot – Kenneth P. Vogel – Politico.com
A milestone of sorts was reached earlier this year, when Obama, the Illinois senator whose revolutionary online fundraising has overwhelmed Clinton, filed an electronic fundraising report so large it could not be processed by popular basic spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel 2003 and Lotus 1-2-3.
Those programs can’t download data files with more than 65,536 rows or 256 columns.
Gotta love that kinda news. Remember when Republicans used to beat the crap out of Democrats in fundraising?
