CHICAGO — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama raised more than $51 million in July and the Democratic National Committee reported $27.7 million in donations last month, putting Obama in a strong position for the fall campaign.

Obama began August with $65.8 million on hand and the DNC had $28.5 million available, according to statements released Saturday.

On Friday, the campaign of Republican candidate John McCain said the presumed GOP nominee had raised $27 million in July, his biggest monthly haul since clinching the party's nomination. McCain's campaign reported having $21 million available to spend. :eyes:

1. Beautiful! I did my part. Will do so this month, too.
Of course, the GOP has way more than the DNC, so it kinda evens out.

But still, good news.
