What was funny... Obama's August number was leaked and posted on DU and I jumped to Google news to see if it had been reflected. Reuters only had Romney's number up and the copy read about he was kicking Obama's ass on fundraisng. Then after a refresh... they had done a rewrite stating Obamas $114 MILLION number, still with a favorable slant towards Romney, talking about Romney's previous fundraising success. While it did reflect Obama's average donation it didn't list Mitt's. Gotta love it.

So I just stuck the numbers up there as the OP.
