Fundraising revisited

By Corey Andrews

Remember that speculation about Barack Obama’s fundraising? Forget about it.

After a lackluster May that saw Obama raise just $22 million — which was just $1 million higher than John McCain — Obama rebounded in a big way, netting $52 million in June. McCain raised $22 million in June. That’s his best of the year, but pales in comparison to Obama’s haul. Also, the DNC’s cash-raising was up substantially from last month’s paltry $4.5 million, helping Obama/DNC pull closer to McCain/RNC with cash in hand. McCain/RNC began June/July with $95 million, while Obama/DNC began the month with $72 million.
