Obama Broke Money Record

By Matthew Mosk
Sen. Barack Obama broke his monthly fundraising record of $55 million in August, sources said today, but the campaign remains tight lipped about its total haul.

The numbers aren't scheduled to be made public until Sept. 20, when the campaign files its August finance reports with the Federal Election Commission. But top fundraisers for the campaign wanted to downplay a report in today's New York Times suggesting Obama's vaunted money-raising team has been struggling to meet its goals.

7. Yep, the poll fudging, the media bullying and the troll posts are designed to scare us.

The Republicans are desperate so they're trying to undermine us.

We cannot give in to it. Just fight harder.

30. I think September will blow that away.

If the numbers are from the 1st to the last days of August, I can tell you I'd donated most of my money right after the Palin speech. I think a lot of others did too.
