RNC shatters monthly fundraising record By Jonathan Martin October 02, 2008 06:09 PM The RNC raised nearly $66 million in September, breaking its all-time record. Committee spokesman Alex Conant credited the haul to the strength of John McCain and Sarah Palin. The figure is a reminder that, despite her recent slip-ups, Palin injected an extraordinary boost into the GOP grass roots. The next best month for the RNC was in October of 2000, when they raised $43 million. © 2008 Capitol News Company LLC <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/RNC_shatters_monthly_fundraising_record.html" target="_blank">http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/RNC_shatters_monthly_fundraising_record.html</a>
