WHERE'S OBAMA?
Today we have learned that during the month of June, John McCain has finally hit the mother lode when it comes to fundraising. He had a $22 Million Dollar June! When you add the funds the RNC has on hand, it's not looking all that bad. According to Outside the Beltway the RNC has something like $95 million cash on hand compared to the DNC's $10 million or so. James Joyner then noted the following:"...It’s a very bizarre strategy on Davis’ part to be bragging about McCain’s fundraising and ability to spend money. Wouldn’t they be better off continue to play up the fact that McCain is limited to $84 million but Obama isn’t because he broke his word? And, for that matter, poormouthing yourself while talking up the opponent’s advantages is a time honored tactic in the expectations game,,,,"
Bloomberg reports that Obama has had 7 fundraisers this week alone. Granted he is assisting Hillary raise money, but, as I reported last week, is he milking the cash cow dry? If last night is any indication these aren't small donors. "...About 125 donors gave $33,100 apiece for an event last night at the Loews Regency Hotel. This morning, Clinton and Obama attended a women's breakfast at the New York Hilton, where tickets ranged from $250 to $2,300, bringing in more than $575,000. ``As someone who took the same historic journey as Senator Clinton -- who shared a stage with her many times over those 16 months -- I know firsthand how tough she is, how passionate she is, how committed she is to the causes that bring us here today,'' Obama told the gathering of 2,300 people. Obama, 46, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has held seven fundraisers so far this week. The events followed his decision June 19 to decline $84.1 million in taxpayer funds for the general election and become the first major-party nominee to privately fund his campaign since the 1974 Watergate-era law provided public financing to presidential candidates. `Early Money Matters' `Early money matters,'' said former Democratic National Committee Chairman Steve Grossman, who raised money for Clinton and is now on Obama's national finance team. ``The month of July cannot be a dead month. The month of July has to be a huge month.''..."
The next question: Why hasn't Obama released his June numbers yet? Then there is the following question: If John McCain is so disliked by the "base" why is he doing rather well with his fundraising? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
