Well, we knew the number was going to be big, but still probably not this big: The Obama campaign announced this morning that it raised more than $150 million for the month of September. To put that amount into perspective, it's nearly twice as much as the $84.1 million McCain received in public funds for the entire general election (from his convention to Election Day). In August, Obama raised $66 million.
Moreover, the campaign said that it added 632,000 new donors for a total of 3.1 million contributors to date.
