$10 Million Woman: Palin a Hit with GOP Donors

McCain Campaign Raises Over $10 Million Since Palin Tapped as Running Mate
By BRIAN ROSS
Sept. 1, 2008

The McCain campaign raised more than $10 million in the two and a half days after Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was named as the vice presidential running mate, bringing the total raised in the month of August to more than $47 million, campaign officials tell ABC News.

The final, official figures are expected to be reported in the next few days, but the amount appears to be a record for the McCain campaign, almost twice as much as it has raised in any other single month.

"We're still counting," said campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.

But the time is short to contribute directly to the McCain/Palin campaign. After he accepts the nomination officially, he gets the federal money that he and Obama both said they would take (but Obama later backed out) and he can't take anymore from people directly. Money to help him will then have to go to the RNC.

Obama will still be able to get money from his folks, and he has been doing very well at it.
