the source of the vast majority* of his campaign funds? Behold, the $3 raffle for a chance to have dinner with His Holiness (and I'm not referring to the Pope or the Dalai Lama). From an Obama fundraising e-mail:

We have a critical fundraising deadline coming up on September 30th.
Help me say yes by giving $3 or more today.

Help me say yes to what we need to do to put our plans in motion by donating $3 or more today — you’ll even be automatically entered for a chance to have dinner with President Obama

Bottom line is that every $3 check buys a raffle ticket, meaning that a single donor who wanted to donate $300 and maximize his chances of meeting The One could simply send in 100 $3 checks. But this would be counted as individual $3 checks from 100 different donors.
