McCain gets $5 million in Chicago
I saw a story today (sorry I am too inept to know how to link) saying McCain raised $5 million in a Chicago fundraiser! In just five hours!

How does a candidate raise that much at a fundraiser while still abiding by election laws? How does that process work?

1. McCain has accepted public funding

so he can't raise money for his campaign only the RNC. Opting out may prove a big mistake for Obama.

...i'm from chicago, and you can count the number of repukes in that city on one hand. if McCorpse was fundraising in the inner city he wouldn't raise 5 cents let alone $5million.
