Romney/Ryan And The RNC Raise $111 Million In First Half Of October

The surge that Mitt Romney has had in the polls helped create a fundraising surge:

Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee raised $111.8 million during the first 17 days of October, Mr. Romney’s campaign announced on Thursday.

Mr. Romney, the committee, and several state parties with whom Mr. Romney is raising money had about $169 million in cash going into the final three weeks of the election.

Both campaigns are required to file their last disclosures before Election Day before midnight on Thursday.

Whatever happens, you won’t be able to say that one of these campaigns lacked the resources to take this race to the finish line.
