RNC shatters monthly fundraising record

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.

do you think the people those ads target were ever in the obama camp to begin with? how there could be anybody on the fence at this point in the game is beyond me... i think people who may say they are undecided really know who they favor and they are a very small percentage of voters....

what i find so strikingly odd is how close the election will be... as though 1/2 the people say the republican ticket has been good for the last 8 years...and they want more of the same because it is really more of the same... mccain / palin will continue the neocon / bush agendas of less oversight is better and more war for peace...

we will soon need jobs programs...

people/banks are holding onto their money...im hearing 95000 people lost their jobs in the last 30 days... car dealerships are folding up... just wait till retail sales for the holiday season cause major retail outlets to go under...

and now harry reid is saying a major insurance company is about to go under...these bank failures are world wide...

but the repubs are trying to blame the bank problems here in america on the sub-prime class which many believe was mostly minority lending...

i have a white friend who bought a house in that time frame and didnt even have to provide proof of income on a $450,000 home... unridled capitalism and endeserved credit are what caused this problem worldwide...the thought that people must have everything they want and they can with credit is the problem... we need to start living within our means and income levels
