Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday that he was unsure if the GOP and Romney team could match the record September fundraising haul announced by the Obama campaign.

“I don’t know if we’re going to match it, but it is an impressive number,” said Priebus on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

On Saturday, the Obama campaign announced that their combined efforts with the Democratic National Convention had netted $181 million last month. The total sets a new monthly record for the 2012 campaign, topping the Obama August haul of $114 million. Obama topped Romney’s $111.6 million that month after the GOP challenger bested Obama in the money game for three straight months.

Asked if the campaign was “close” to the September figure, Priebus responded “I can’t tell you that right now. “

1. That's bullshit. Kochs, Adelson, other billionaires will dump a billion into Romney's campaign

before November.

2. How much did Reince raise?

3. They are lying

The Republicans know how much they have raised. They are just waiting for the right time to dump the bad news.

5. Yup. Bet they do it on the day of the debate.

4. I wonder if someone in their party will want to investigate where all their money went

Romney has lied, cheated and stolen in order to win. I would bet that he stopped using his own money a long time ago and has insisted that the republican party carry him and all of his expenses.
