McCain Raised $47M in Aug.

Posted Sep 1, 08 8:37 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – John McCain’s presidential campaign raised $47 million in August, its biggest monthly take yet, the AP reports. The campaign has apparently received $10 million in donations since McCain announced Friday that Sarah Palin would be his running mate. Officials say the total Republican general-election chest will be at least $224 million by next week, when McCain receives $85 million in public funds.
