It wouldn't take that much. He is #2 in fundraising behind only Romney so he's doing very well with raising money.
As for "special interests" there is the Revolution SuperPAC now which has a money bomb in September. There are no donation limits and donations can come from companies and organizations as well as people. There are rumors that a couple extremely wealthy people will be donating large amounts of money to that.

As for #1, I don't see him pandering to anyone.
