McCain Raises $4.5 Million Online in 24 Hours After Palin Pick

A source inside the McCain campaign confirms a massive online fundraising haul since Sarah Palin was named as the VP -- $4.5 million in the first 24 hours, part of a $7 million overall fundraising burst.

It strikes me that while Obama mastered the process of leaking out the pick -- the text messaging gambit, stringing the press along with false timing teaks -- only to pick someone underwhelming and uninspiring, McCain mastered the substance, with minimal hype upfront and who did exactly what he needed a VP pick to do once announced.

$25, the first time I gave money to him.  I'm a college student, so I don't have a whole lot of money, but after the VP choice, it was worth it.  It hasn't been easy being a Republican in the past couple of years.  The selection of Palin was the first time I was proud to be a Republican in quite some time.  I imagine others feel the same way.
