WASHINGTON — Herman Cain had one of THE best fundraising days of his presidential campaign on Monday, raising $250,000 in online donations despite reports that he had been twice accused of sexual harassment.

The quarter of a million dollar haul made for “one of our best fundraising days ever,” Cain’s campaign chief of staff Mark Block told a D.C election-themed conference sponsored by the National Journal. Cain himself said on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Tuesday that since the story broke Sunday night, “the fundraising has increased significantly.”

“I’ll give you this little bit of information — and this is breaking news: yesterday with the firestorm was one of our best fundraising days online ever — since the campaign started,” he said. “One of the best ones ever, Laura.”
