Obama is reporting that he raised $52 million last month. Now that’s a lot of “change.”
Update: Fox News is reporting that McCain has $95 million on-hand; Obama has $92.3 million. Regardless, that’s a LOT of money.

What is Bearing Drift?
Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken. Most navigational rules say to avoid collision, turn to starboard -- the right!

The truly amazing thing is that the average donation was around $65. Talk about real Americans - and not lobbyists or corporations - getting behind a candidate, amazing!
At least we know tv advertising won’t be in a recession.
Excellent, rolling all those pennies sure paid off :).
It’s interesting how the candidate/committee mix is mirror image between the parties - Obama outraising the DNC, but the RNC outraising McCain. Of course, it looks like the higher fundraising by the RNC vs McCain may be an actual McCain campaign strategy for dealing with the $2,300 limit for direct campaign contributions from McCain - Feingold (oh the rich irony there).
From the WSJ (that trash lefty rag):
