Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign announced early Monday that it raised $111.6 million during the month of August, its single best month of the campaign and the third straight month it has raked in more than $100 million.
President Obama’s campaign has not announced its August fundraising totals yet, but he has been significantly outraised by Romney over the last two months.

In Virginia, a number of PACs like AFP are going after Barry on everything from energy to health care to jobs.
Forget this election and all the ones of the 21st century! Go back to 1980 to see a real mirror image of this election! I ain't worried. Not a'tall.
Uh, have you heard of early voting? Have you heard about how people increasingly make up their mind earlier? Also, if he is that smart, why did he implode vs. Kennedy and fail miserably against McCain in 2008?
Early voting is an issue in this case.
Best news I felt all day about the campaign.
Could not agree with you more. The trolls and shills for Obama are out in force on FR. It is so obvious. Romney is brutalizing Obama and these polls are total BS. How far down was Reagan against Carter.
They may not be BS, but are single digits within the margin of error coming out of the conventin - hardly insurmountable and hardly permanent...it is ridiculous the level of hysteria over them...49-44 with a huge week of media fawning that is going to fade away in a week or so? It is crazy. 64% - 34% - yes, that would be cause for panic, not 49-44 due to a bounce that will be gone.
They are still around 8 weeks left for the election, many debates around.
The Job market is not going to get better, gas prices still high.
I am confident Romney will not go the same way as McCain in 08.
Yeah I have heard of early voting in SOME states. Most early voters are conservatives this year because they just can’t wait to vote against the radical socialist from Chicago.
It was a few weeks after Palin joined the ticket and then the implosion on Wall Street occurred, I believe on Sept. 18.
McCain suspended campaigning and rushed back to Washington to "help" manage the crisis. Obama then had the best line of the whole campaign, when he said he would not suspend campaigning since a president should be able to do more than one thing at a time. After that McCain lost the lead in the polls and never regained them.
To say the polls were bogus is a complete lie. McCain was behind from mid September to election day, so I would say the polls were quite accurate.
The Mormon church is pretty rich and I don’t think they would let that money stay idle while they have a chance to get one of their own into the White House. Just wait until you see the money raised when the Church of Scientology runs a candidate!
Obama raised 114 million in August. So I’d call that a stand still.
They key is who can spend their money more effectively.
I still believe that McCain would have won the election had he opposed TARP rather than suspend his campaign so help push it through.
But then again, a McCain who opposed TARP wouldn’t be McCain.
A comatose candidate could be more aggressive than McCain.
I saw Romney’s new ad he is running in 8 states. Not that good. I know with the money he has they can do better. They need to hit 0bama hard. Not just ask if you better off than 4 years ago. It’s not a good question to ask becuase Bush and the Democratic congress had us in a mess four years ago, it might help 0bama make his “blame Bush” case.
Many are the sleeper accounts of libs that were activated for that purpose.
To try to get everyone to think just that.
B. Hussein and his PACS has announced via Twitter that he raised $114 million. Looks like we’ve been outraised by about $3mil.
Better to have all this bad news come out at once I guess.
We weren’t outraged by much, but he got a lot of new donors this month.
Romney’s camp did say they were going to slow down fundraising and do more retail politicking
“Obama raised 114 million in August. So I’d call that a stand still.”
Source? I’ve only read that the 0bamam camp has not released their August fundraising totals.
