WTF? McCain raised 47 million in August!

[darius15]

John McCain's campaign said Monday that it had raised $47 million in the month of August – his biggest monthly total to date – nearly matching Barack Obama’s July fundraising figure of $50 million.

The Obama campaign has not yet released his August total.

McCain’s team has said the presumptive Republican nominee has raised millions since asking Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to join the ticket last week.

The Arizona senator has opted to receive public campaign funding, which means he cannot fundraise for his campaign after September 1 – although the Republican National Committee’s Victory fund can continue to raise and spend money on his behalf.

Ugh. If they get 47 million, we get 80! I just donated $5. I know it's small but that's all I could give right now. Surely we can all contribute a bit! Let's go Obama!
