Pro-Obama Super PAC Raised Just $59,000 In January | Fox News
Priorities USA, the political committee founded by former Obama aides, raised a grand total of $59,000 in January.
That's enough to buy a snazzy car with "Obama 2012" stickers on it or perhaps cover travel expenses for staff, but not enough to compete on the airwaves. By comparison, the pro-Mitt Romney Restore Our Future group raised $6.6 million in January. Winning our Future, the pro-Newt Gingrich fund, raised $11 million.
Though Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee have a robust fundraising operation -- bringing in $29 million in January -- federal campaign finance law limits individual donations to $2,500. The Republican National Committee boasted on Tuesday that the Republican field combined with the RNC raised $31.5 million during that same time period.
