1. We can probably thank Sarah Palin for energizing the base.
Thank you Sarah for scaring the crap out of people that they gave $150 million to Barack!

6. "The Democratic National Committee, moments later, announced that it raised $49.9 million "
The Democratic National Committee, moments later, announced that it raised $49.9 million and had $27.5 million in the bank at the start of October. The party has been raising money through joint fundraising events with Obama and can use the money to assist his candidacy.

10. Yes, but think: If McSame can't fundraise, and the RNC only got $60M
Compared with about 3 times that much for Obama and the DNC combined, that can't bode well for their side.

9. McCain uses public financing. He gets 84 million to use. RNC got 66 million in September.

And that's 84 million from September- November, not 84 million a month. So we have a HUGE fundraising advantage.
