Yeah, but if we were really enthused about Palin, it’d have been *57* million.

Image description Not to pile on – OK, that’s a lie – but $10 million in three days and (via Constant Reader wsjreader) $47 million for August…

Hold on a second.

$47 MILLION IN AUGUST.

…suggests that Josh Green’s suggestion of a lack of enthusiasm among the GOP for Palin is perhaps just the slightest bit exaggerated.

Just the slightest.

I gave to McCain and the RNC for the 1st time this season because of Palin.

I believe the ability to raise money is just an added bonus from the Palin pick.

reporting that the McCain camp is still counting and it is AT LEAST 47 million dollars for August.

Moe, perhaps you can do a front pager on how much the McCain campaign has on hand for September, and how they distribute this remainder to the other GOP candidates.

Hopefully they will be sending huge checks to the states and the RNC will be able to in return give huge checks to the McCain team. I wonder how this will be done. It would be nice to know how much we have for the next two months..

A question about donation...

Since McCain has opted for public financing, where would our donation dollars be most effectively sent to assist with the campaign?

…post-Palin announcement. Of course, if it there had been a Palin 2012 fund it might have been more.

Go Palin!!!

I have also donated for the first time ever to a political campaign, though I donated hours to Bush in 2004 and Tallent in 2006.

I was fully behind McCain before, but now I’m PUMPED to be supporting Palin for VP!

Sarah Palin on the fund raising trail.

She would be better used in direct fighting against the Democratic platform. Oh well, I do hope that she gets in her licks while raising money – and speaks her mind (as she did in Alaska).

She will raise more money than McCain of course…

I like that they are keeping her quiet

building the suspense.

I think it is wise not to overexpose her… the public is lready expericing Obamessiah fatigue. Make the people have to dig on the web to find out about her, find old videos, etc… it really is creating a buzz around her.

Heh, you may be right, but I like her so much

that it is a shame to just make her a fund-raiser. She has the right ideas, the right plans for the future, and the right method of attack – honesty and integrity.

Darn hard combination to beat and I would just love to release her on the Democrats!

McCain can transfer any money he raises to State Party organizations (read: battleground states) and the RNC after he’s officially the party nominee, to funds that are specifically set up by the RNC and state parties to help him.

So it doesn’t really matter.
