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.

He has to take a message to the people and he cannot rely on the MSM to be fair.
Well complimenting Bill Clinton at the DNC and yapping about how good parts of Obamacare is certainly doesn’t help does it?
Speaking of the media, FOX continually plays long sound bites of BO’s convention and campaign speeches while playing very short clips of Romney’s response. It’s making me mad.
Gosh, I wonder how some of the FReeper Lemmings will spin this into a castrophic negative?
Sorry folks but some of the posts on here this weekend, 8 weeks out, are simply BS. “The chair” gets a FEW points bump in some subjective polls and it’s all over for some of you. You are the democrats and MSM’s best ally. They print out a tainted poll or story and you swallow it. Hook, line and sinker.
Wake up, be vigilant and dont get suckered by the left.
Have you seen ALL THE POLLS, though? Romney is weak.
With all due respect, we all heard about how bogus the polls were in 2008 as well, and look what happened.
What did the polls show in 2010?
Negative advertising works.
now Romney gets very little....
wake up people....donate....activate...vote....
chase away tolls to...
What good is all this money if he continue to run such lame-ass ads that refuse to attack Obama?
Yes - McCain lost when the polls showed him winning at this point. They were bogus.
Well, the WSJ average has Obama with a 1.8 lead. That’s within the margin of error, so....
I know Romney has problems in Ohio, but things are still relatively even in the other key states. Remember, even means the incumbent loses. We also have this HUGE war chest. Romney is effective with ads. That’s how he destroyed Gingrich. The blitz is just starting, and we should see some movement in Romney’s direction going into the debates. I hope the R campaign will put major bucks into Ohio to even that up. Obama has been wiping the floor with us on the airwaves, but that will change now.
I don’t see Romney going after Obama like he did against Gingrich.
Since I'm from California, I will, of course, put out the lawn sign, etc. But my real contribution will have to be $$$ for races Romney/Ryan can win.
I think he will. Romney has always started slow in campaigns and then he relky picks up the rhetoric and intensity towards the end. He can now spend his money and he will starting now.
His campaign will be vastly more aggressive than McCain’s, IMO.
This is why I like Romney. While others panic, he puts in the work on the fundamentals. Solid fundraising is such an important key to victory, especially for us as we do not have the celebutarts and media spokesholes like the Rats.
Have you studied Romney’s M.O. during the primaries? He would carpet bomb the leading opponent 7-10 days before election day. Have you forgotten that Americans have a short memory span? Why waste money 2 moths before election??? Romney did not make $250 million by being inept.
