Umm . . . I’m sure you’ve probably heard about it by now, but I think this deserves it’s own headline on JJP.

That’s not a typo.  Your eyes aren’t lying to you.  Obama raised $150,000,000 in the month of September . . .

AP via The Huffington Post:

Barack Obama raised more than $150 million in September, a stunning and unprecedented eruption of political giving that has given him a wide spending advantage over rival John McCain.

The Democrat’s campaign released the figure Sunday, one day before it must file a detailed report of its monthly finances with the Federal Election Commission.

Obama’s money is fueling a vast campaign operation in an expanding field of competitive states. It also has underwritten a wave of both national and targeted video advertising unseen before in a presidential contest.

Campaign manager David Plouffe, in an e-mail to supporters Sunday morning, said the campaign had added 632,000 new donors in September, for a total of 3.1 million contributors to the campaign. He said the average donation was $86.

UNBELIEVABLE!!
