AP - Democrat Barack Obama has reported raising $22 million in May for his presidential campaign, his weakest fundraising month this year. He ended the month with $43 million cash on hand, according to his campaign.
Obama has been the fundraising leader in the presidential contest, but his May totals nearly match Republican rival John McCain's fundraising for the month.
Overall, Obama has raised more than $287 million during the past 17 months. McCain has raised a total of $115 million.
Obama's campaign reported that, of his total cash on hand, nearly $10 million was exclusively for the general election.
