McCain Oklahoma Fundraising Surges
By Randy Krehbiel/Tulsa World ~ Oklahoma Republicans got out their checkbooks in April. Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain collected more than $450,000 from Oklahomans last month, more than doubling his total for the entire campaign cycle, according to Federal Election Commission reports.
McCain's April haul and revisions to earlier reports pushed his Oklahoma total to $925,037, compared with $383,916 just a month earlier when he trailed Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, as well as fellow Republican Rudy Giuliani, who dropped out of the race in February.
Uncharacteristically, contributions to Democratic candidates led those to Republicans throughout the past year. But McCain now leads both Clinton and Obama, and the GOP has pulled to within about $35,000 of the Democrats.
