McCain's take in a month ticked up to $22 million in June, from $21 million in May. He's also getting help from the Republican National Committee, which added $26 million.

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis sought Thursday to undermine the widely held view that the presumed Republican nominee would be swamped by his Democratic rival's fundraising prowess and army of 1.7 million donors.

Obama has not released his June money numbers. As of May, he had raised $287 million to McCain's $133 million, including his June infusion.
