| Description | WASHINGTON (AFP) — Democrat Barack Obama more than doubled his fundraising record with a mammoth September haul of more than 150 million dollars for the final stretch of his White House campaign, aides said Sunday.
The extravaganza of giving enabled Obama to demolish his previous one-month record of 66 million dollars in August, which had already set him fair to hit Republican John McCain hard in the closing months of their race.
"Because of your great generosity we had a record-breaking September," Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe said as he prepared to file the month's fundraising figures with the Federal Election Commission.
"We are going to report tomorrow to the FEC that we raised over 150 million dollars in September which has allowed us to run such a strong campaign in all of these battleground states," he said in a video message to supporters. |
