Obama Breaks Fundraising Records - $66M in August!

Record donations month for Obama

US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama raised $66m (£37m) in August, making it his best month in terms of election fundraising.

The amount raised makes it likely Mr Obama will have more to spend than Republican rival John McCain in the final two months before the vote.

Donations were lifted by half a million new donors signing up, an aide said.

The record figure contradicts suggestions that Mr Obama's fundraising appeal had been slipping.

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