Having Quintuplets the Loophole to Federal Campaign Finance Limits?

The Washington Post has a great article on child donors to Presidential Candidates including a 2-year old donor to Barack Obama. Though I must say I got the best kick out of this one:

A supporter of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R), Susan Henken of Dover, Mass., wrote her own $2,300 check, and her 13-year-old son, Samuel, and 15-year-old daughter, Julia, each wrote $2,300 checks, for example. Samuel used money from his bar mitzvah and money he earned "dog sitting," and Julia used babysitting money to make the contributions, their mother said. "My children like to donate to a lot of causes. That's just how it is in my house," Henken said.

I don't know what kind of babysitting this girl is doing... But I think I'm gonna call little Julia's bluff and say Mommy gave you the money :-)
