RNC shatters monthly fundraising record

The RNC raised nearly $66 million in September, breaking its all-time record.

Committee spokesman Alex Conant credited the haul to the strength of John McCain and Sarah Palin.

The figure is a reminder that, despite her recent slip-ups, Palin injected an extraordinary boost into the GOP grass roots.

The next best month for the RNC was in October of 2000, when they raised $43 million.

>What does "a rolling ave. of polls" mean? In prior polls, McCain was ahead.

Ah, I didn't get what the article meant. It was just referring to the Real Clear Politics "rolling average." A rolling average is the average of the last few days of polls...

But Real Clear Politics leans right, and cherry picks its polls.

A great place for election stats is here -- fivethirtyeight.com

Can't really do better than those guys. And it's a really fun site to play with. If CJ hasn't seen it yet, he'll love it.
