Mitt Romney made a “birther” joke on the stump. A journalist got the following fundraising email:
Benjamin —
Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president of the United States, just said this:
“No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.”
Take a moment or two to think about that, what he’s actually saying, and what it says about Mitt Romney.
Then make a donation of $68 or more to re-elect Barack Obama today:

Thanks,
Messina

Obama for America
I got the same email, but with “$150” not “$68” as my suggested donation. I also get Romney emails but haven’t noticed any similar sophistry there yet so far.

more likely price randomization, no? i suppose they will not manually sort the bazillion emails they send into different price groups..

They might sort it based on the kind of donation you may have made in the past or using user demographics. Its entirely possible – mine consistently say $3 or more.
