Unheard American Voices: Barack Obama's Questionable Money Trail? by Thia Levy

Quote:
Shouldn't all of us be extremely uncomfortable not knowing where 50% of a major presidential candidate's campaign finance money is coming from especially in light of the under-handed and unethical way this primary has played out. This person is asking to be the president of the US. We have a right and a duty to know who's backing him....

Question: Is it reasonable to believe that:
When compared to all contributions of all candidates, Obama's "unknowns" are 41%, McCain's are 10% (76% less than Obama's), and Clinton's are 20% (51% less than Obama's)?
When the percent of "unknowns" is compared to the total contributions given to a candidate, Obama's "unknowns" are 47%, McCain's AND Clinton's are 31%?
Please also note the information in the attached NYT article (Obama Forgoes Public Funds In First for Major Candidate) that indicates that Obama took in $95M in Feb & March "in small contributions of $100 or less raised on the internet."
This is very troubling. Nice back door to launder illegal foreign/domestic money.
