The Obama campaign is kinda fired up it seems. $52M raised in June. Second best month ever.
More from Reuters
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama raised $52 million in June, the campaign said on Thursday, a jump from last month and more than double the $22 million raised by his Republican rival John McCain.
In an e-mail to supporters, campaign manager David Plouffe said the Obama campaign raised the funds with an average donation of $68. The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have a combined total of $72 million in the bank, Plouffe said.
The GOP has $100M in the bank BTW. The former stats junkie in me wants to know what the median contribution is.
