Fundraising Numbers

John McCain raises a record $27 million in one month, while Barack Obama takes in $51 million in July which isn’t a record, but is clearly a larger number:

On the other hand, the RNC has way more money than the DNC and that should make up the difference.

    At this point, McCain+RNC has about $100M, Obama+DNC has $94M. At the end of the month, McCain will have to spend his campaign account to zero and then get an $84M check. So he will have $160M to spend, and then figure the RNC continues to raise $20M/month for September+October, giving him $200M.

    Figure Obama breaks even this month, as he did last month, and the DNC nets another $20M. That gives him $120M, meaning he’ll need to raise $40M/month to keep up with McCain+RNC. Considering last month Obama and the DNC combined to raise about $75M, I think that means he’ll end up only $50M ahead of McCain+RNC.

    MY:
    The DNC actually outraised the RNC last month. Shock, I know!!

    Nicholas:
    Being ahead by $50 million is truly something to behold. When was the last time a Democrat was able to raise more than the Republican? It hasn’t happened for a while. So news that Obama will raise more is big news indeed.

  3. Richard Steven Hack Says:

    Let’s not forget that McCain has hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising courtesy of the MSM which will frame everything in favor of McCain on orders from their owners.

    Obama has…the Net pundits like Matt.

    Obama is doomed.
