Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama reports spending $87.5 million in September. His campaign financial report shows he began October with $133.6 million in the bank.
The numbers illustrate his advantage over John McCain, his Republican rival. McCain ended September with $47 million in the bank.
Both candidates are also getting help from their respective parties. The Democratic National Committee had $27.4 million in hand at the end of the month. The Republican National Committee said it had $77 million.
That makes the stakes a bit closer, with the Democrats holding a $37 million advantage.
Obama raised $150 million in September. McCain is accepting public financing and is limited to $84 million.
