Obama raises more than $150 million in September

I believe that I heard from MSNBC that McCain is using public funding, and has, as a result, about $80 million dollars for his entire campaign. I believe Obama's $150 million from one month trumps McCain's collections.

 

The question now is "Will Obama use this money correctly?

This is correct. McCain gets no new money after the RNC(onvention), aside from this single amount. The RNC(ommittee) itself can still take in money and use it towards McCain's campaign (however this money has to be used against Obama and Dems in general in equal measure). The downside for Republicans is that the more RNC money that goes into McCain's campaign, the less there is to spread around to the other Senate/House races down-ticket.

 

Obama on the other hand doesn't get the public money, but gets to raise as much private money as he can. Since Obama doesn't have to tap into DNC money, he can fund his own campaign while freeing up that DNC money for the down-ticket races.

According to jmac he is. :D
