Candidate's chartiable contributions

Courtesy of Paul L. Caron at TaxProf blog:
2006-2007
McCain: 27.3 - 28.6%
Clinton: 10-14.7%
Obama: 5-8 - 6.1%
Biden: 0.06 - 0.31% (less than 200 pennies/week)

89% of American households contribute to charity, with an average contribution of 3.1% of income. Really puts Biden into perspective. $27K of Obama's went to Wright's church.
