After locking up his party’s presidential nomination, Barack Obama’s fundraising operation came roaring back to life in June, generating more than a million dollars on five days, including a whopping $25 million that came in on the last day of the month.
His one-day haul represents nearly half of his monthly total and more than Republican rival John McCain generated for the entire month. During the month, McCain did not have a single day in which he raised a million dollars.
Overall, Obama raised $54 million for his campaign in June, compared to $22 million for McCain.
In addition to fundraising, the June expenditures offered insight into the different tacks the candidates are taking toward winning the presidency in November.
The two candidates spent about the same amount of money in June — Obama spent $26 million and McCain spent $27 million.
But their priorities were entirely different as Obama began building what his campaign says will be an unprecedented, nationwide ground operation. |
