Shouldn't McCain be doing better......

Just noting here that John McCain, right after becoming the presumptive nominee, raised only $4 million last week.

Now, that's far better than he'd been doing, but considering that he'd barely tapped the Republican donor base, that seems small to me.

Wouldn't you think he'd be turning in a bigger number?

(What's the breakdown of fundraiser vs. online money? Was there no swell of "excitement" money from the grassroots?)

The Dems have redefined grassroots/online money this cycle per the NYTimes this AM.
Democrats raised $47.7 million last month from small donors, according to the Campaign Finance Institute, a Washington research group that studies campaign finance data. This compares to $5.1 million in small donations for Republican candidates.
