That’s right. Since the announcement on Friday, the McCain camp estimates it has taken in nearly $10 million. That brings their monthly total for August to just under $50 million. If this isn’t proof of a rallying base, I don’t know what is.
Of course, today is the last day for McCain to spend the money since he kept his word and is accepting public financing for the election. Still not bad news, though, as McCain will be allowed to direct the money elsewhere – to state committees and other candidates.
