FEC: McCain Tops Oklahoma Fundraising

Federal Election Commission records show that Oklahomans had contributed more than $5.9 million to presidential campaigns through the end of September, a total more than 2-1/2 times the previous record set in 2004.

Contributions to John McCain and Barack Obama top the previous highs for their respective parties.

The records show that McCain's total grew by $279,171 in September to just under $2 million.

They also show that Obama took in $330,804 during the same period and has raised just under $1.4 million.

All Republican presidential candidates combined raised $3.2 million here, while Democrats raised $2.7 million.

Both figures surpass the total for both parties combined during the 2004 campaign.
