Obama Outspent McCain 2:1 in Final Months of Race
-------------------------------------------------



Newly released campaign records reveal that President-elect Barack Obama
raised a record-shattering $750 million during the overall campaign.
That is triple the amount raised in 2004 by President Bush, who held the
previous record. Obama and the Democratic National Committee outspent Mc
Cain and the Republicans by a two-to-one margin during the final two
months of the campaign.
