“Not quite. I seem to remember that a significant part of their fundraising last year consisted of transfers from the McCain/Palin 2008 victory fund, i.e., money that conservatives thought was going to Palin instead went to McCain’s re-election campaign or to the RINO Nat’l Committee. “

The Republican National Committee will report raising $5.1 million during the month of February when reports are filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission.
The number is slightly down from the amount the party raised in January, when the RNC raised $5.77 million from individuals and other political committees, setting aside the $7 million Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) presidential campaigns transferred back to RNC accounts.

(And that's on top of the $22 Million in the presidential campaign accounts that McCain may elect to deploy against J.D. Hayworth.)
