Obama Raises $150 Million In September

Filed in National by on October 4, 2012

And that, folks, is a record.

President Obama’s campaign set a monthly record for the 2012 cycle in September, hauling in $150 million, according to the Wall Street Journal:

The September total far surpasses the $114 million raised in August, when the Obama team snapped a three-month streak in which it was outraised by Republican challenger Mitt Romney. At the time, the $114 million was the most the Obama campaign had collected in any one month in the 2012 election season. The most the Romney campaign has collected so far was $111 million in August.

    Romney raised less because he worked and thoroughly prepared for the debate. Obama should have stayed in more and done the same thing instead of being all over the place raising money and blowing off Netanyahu in favor of Letterman and The View. Thinking he could phone it in was obviously a mistake.

    @metoo – probably a good point. There’s still a post scrolling by up top “Where’s Mitt?” I guess he was prepping for debate. It’s hard work to memorize all those lies.

    It is actually a combined $181 M haul for Obama and the DNC.
