Romney Beats Obama In May Fundraising, Recalling Kerry Vs. Bush In 2004

In May, Mitt Romney's campaign effort raised more than President Obama's for the first time.

June 7, 2012 Both the Republican and Democratic efforts boasted of receiving many of their contributions from small donors who gave $250 or less.

Romney's campaign said 93 percent of all donations came from smaller donors while Obama's claimed 98 percent.
