Washington, D.C. ? Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama reports raising $36 million for his campaign during the first two weeks of October.

Obama’s fundraising pace showed a marked decline compared with the $150 million he raised in September. That’s according to a financial report he filed with the Federal Election Commission late Thursday.

Obama spent more than $105 million from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15. At that pace he would more than double his record spending from September.

He had nearly $66 million in the bank at the end of the two-week period.

John McCain and the Republican National Committee reported having a combined $84 million as of last week to spend before Election Day.
