John McCain raised $47 million in the month of August, the most he has raised so far… and $10M+ of it since he announced the VP pick only days ago.
With the announcement of at least 1 major Clinton backer switching to McCain (HERE) and his prediction that you will see many more making the same move, as well as the groundswell of support for Palin among the “PUMA” voters, the Republican record breaking fundraising month is a sure sign that McCain is picking up speed.
The Hurricane Gustav interefered with the Republican Convention, but it has afforded time to get a few little tidbits out into the news, trooper and baby “gates”, that would normally garner much more attention than they are because of the storm.
The storm has also afforded McCain another opportunity to look Presidential, and another opportunity for Obama to look not so Presidential. (HERE)
We will see how things work out at the end of the week.

Hopefully, McCain will start seeing a flood of money pouring in as a statement that people want to take on corruption in government.
I wonder how Obama is doing on his fund raising…he seems awfully silent on that information and I haven’t heard his Bots bragging about it either. I hope McCain keeps raking in the dough and I also hope it’s causing Howard Dean plenty of sleepless nights. Heh heh.
Do you know what obama raised?
Mountain Sage
they have not said…. and seem pretty tight lipped about it.
he raised 8 million the day McCain announced Palin as a running mate. Beyond that, i don’t know.
