ST. PAUL, Minn. — Sarah Palin’s speech to the Republican convention really seems to have energized people. Including Democrats, it turns out — Barack Obama’s campaign says that since Palin’s speech, it has taken in $8 million, and the Obama camp estimates that number will hit $10 million by the time John McCain addresses the convention tonight.
The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, has reportedly raised $1 million in the same time period. And a McCain source told the Drudge Report, “We could not count our donations fast enough.” (The McCain campaign is now restricted from raising its own money, as McCain accepted public financing.)
