http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/eyeon2010/2010/10/dnc-has-raised-111m-so-far-in.htmlThe Democratic National Committee raised $11.1 million during the first 13 days of October, a figure that officials say puts the party on pace for one of its best months ever in a midterm election and a sum that wary Democrats say is encouraging them that Nov. 2 might not be as bad as it once looked.
A Democratic source told CQ-Roll Call the DNC will file a report Thursday posting the $11.1 million figure. What's more, the DNC is revising its September figure to be higher than the $16 million previously announced. The party raised nearly $17 million, the source said.
Like a Democrat close to the White House told us yesterday, the DNC believes President Barack Obama's campaign travel has helped. The source said fundraising has taken off as Obama has hopscotched around the country for Democratic candidates. The DNC also is feeling confident about its get-out-the-vote operation thanks to all of those transfers of cash they've sent to state parties so far this fall.
"We are spending more than ever on efforts turnout normally reliable midterm and surge voters," the source said.
