Record donations month for Obama


Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama raised $66 million in August, making it his best month in terms of election fundraising.

His previous record, of $55 million, was set in February.

The amount raised makes it likely Mr. Obama will have more to spend than his opponent John McCain in the final two months before Election Day.

This bodes well for the Obama camp, now that McCain has moved ahead in the polls.
