Stunning Numbers

Obama's September haul may surpass $100 million.

Approximately 94% of all eligible voters in Ohio are now registered to vote.

In Pennsylvania, "Democratic registration has surged by 13 percent and Republican ranks have shrunk by 1 percent as a record 8.6 million people in battleground Pennsylvania registered to vote in the presidential election."

"In the ABC News / Washington Post poll of Ohio, 37% of those who made it through the likely voter screen said they had been contacted by the Obama campaign in some way or another. That's ten points higher than the number who say they've been contacted by the McCain campaign. And adding in e-mails or texts, the Obama figure rises to 43% of voters -- probably a record for a presidential campaign." (Source: Marc Ambinder)

Almost 100% of McCain's advertising is negative compared to 34% of Obama's ads. (Results from the previous two-week period can be found here.)

And finally, a fantastic video that is a part of Obama's rural outreach efforts in Ohio. (H/T: Marc Ambinder)
