Obama Sets New Fundraising Record for August

I'm so happy that my $50 donation last month helped make Obama's fundraising in August such a success. His campaign raised more than $66 million dollars last month, and has more than $77 million in the bank. There were $500,000 new donors last month, bringing the total of individual donors to more than 2.5 million. Sarah Palin may have woken up the bible-thumping creationists, but she also woke up a lot of independents and other sane folks, who shudder at the thought of this self-professed "hockey mom" being a "heartbeat away from the presidency."
