Late Thursday night the presidential campaigns released their financial statements on activity for the first two weeks of October.
After raising a ridiculously large $153 million in September, Barack Obama fundraising rate slowed down by half as he only raised about a quarter of that amount in half the time ($36 million in 2 weeks), ending with $64 million of cash on hand for the final 3 weeks of the campaign.
John McCain had $24 million of his federal election financing check of $84 million left on October 15, but the Republican National Committee had $60 million dollars in cash on hand for a combined total of $84 million, to spend on electing McCain and other Republicans around the country.
The Democratic National Committee had $31 million of cash on hand for a total of $95 million dollars for the Democrats to spend.
This is the first time in over a decade that Democrats have had more cash on hand to spend at the end of a Presidential election.
