Obama Pulls In More Than $55 Million in 3Q


The Obama campaign "is likely to beat its $55 million target for combined third-quarter contributions to joint party and presidential committees -- but likely to lag behind its record-breaking second-quarter haul," Politico reports.

"Campaign manager Jim Messina told a meeting of Democratic donors in Chicago earlier this month that Obama was aiming for the $55 million benchmark. But even Obama's critics think it will be more. After all, campaign officials were predicting $60 million in the days before Obama's team announced a combined $85 million second-quarter take in July."

1. Not shabby considering he couldn't have fundraisers during the debt-ceiling debacle

There was speculation this quarter would be low because of his inability to leave Washington to fundraise.

4. Woo hoo!

I'd kind of like my donation back now that I'm on the brink of bankruptcy.

Time to log off and beg my family for help so my property tax check doesn't bounce. Again.

5. Guess reports of lackluster donations were a bit premature.
