WASHINGTON - Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson has brought in more than 11 and a-half million dollars over four months.

The two Republicans also say checks are still being counted from more than 70,000 contributors.

Since formally entering the race during the first week of September, Thompson has raised roughly $200,000 a day.
