CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Republican John McCain had his best fundraising month in West Virginia so far in July, but it still was not as good as Democrat Barack Obama's.
Mountain State residents gave Obama more than $53,300 for his presidential campaign in July, while McCain's White House bid attracted $51,800.
The month brought Obama's in-state fundraising total above $302,500, compared with $172,700 for McCain.
Obama's latest Federal Election Commission report also shows that a growing number of his West Virginia donors have contributed the per-election maximum of $2,300. That has triggered several refunds.
McCain, meanwhile, will start accepting public financing starting next month. That means he must spend all he's raised by the end of next week's Republican National Convention.

Osama raised more money for Obama because he wants this terrorists in the Whitehouse. Hey also wants Ayers to help blow up some more buildings.. and Rev. Wright to spew out more hate America messages... vote for Obama and vote for Osama. You people don't work so paying taxes don't matter to you! You be just waiting for a demoncrat handout, bowing down to a Muslim while getting some scraps.. PATHETIC!!!

I get all these ignorant e-mails sent to me too, but I am smart enough to know they're not true. To be honest, most of the people sending those ugly e-mails know they're not true either! It is so sad to see all this RACISM hidden behind these actions. I am white--have a white spouse--kids are white as cotton, but I do NOT have a problem with the idea of Senator Obama being our next president. Shame on ALL OF YOU who are forwarding those ugly e-mails about Obama. Have fun in the unemployment line when your ugly deeds put McCain in the white house for the next four years. Don't want to hear any of you complaining that "they took our jobs!"
