The other day I noted some unusual numbers for John McCain’s bundling activity on the Center for Responsive Politics website.
I’ve now heard from the Center that they had some kind of computer programming error with the numbers, so they have reverted on their page to the earlier numbers: “Together, 537 elites have directed at least $76,450,000 to McCain, and 561 have gathered at least $63,200,000 for Obama. ”
My R.A.’s count of the bundled numbers reported on the McCain website (as of 8/22/2008) is around $61 million, less than the CRP numbers. I am still looking for an archived copy of Obama’s numbers, which were at one time posted at this link. Some people have sent me files purporting to be the information from the website, but I can tell from some of the reporting that it was not from the most updated list posted by the Obama campaign. Still looking.
