In reporting Obama's staggering fundraising for September, campaign manager David Plouffe said the campaign had added 632,000 new donors in the month, for a total of 3.1 million contributors to the campaign. The average donation was US$86, he said in a Sunday morning e-mail to supporters. The take was 2.3 times the US$65 million Obama raked in during August, his previous monthly best. - click here

obama friggin raised 150M for the month of september. he's seriously amazing how he's done the right things to capitalize today's market by using everyday technology which now includes not only the standard forms of media (tv, radio, print) but also to fully utilize the internet for mass marketing. political campaigning has always been a bit slow to adjust to modern media through radio/tv etc but obama has caught the wave perfectly. he has not only pooled in the internet as a major campaign attack, he's gone a step further to use internet mediums like facebook to catch voters by the truckload.

"History shows us where unlimited amounts of money are in political campaigns, it leads to scandal," McCain said.

now as much of a sore loser comment as this comment is by mccain, it does hold quite a bit of water...now if given the opportunity for scandal....would obama take it?
