Mccain actually has $25 million more than Obama.
« on: October 31, 2008, 09:12:26 AM »
Can't forget the 300 million RNC war chest...


(from email)
I'm the Chief Financial Officer for Barack Obama's campaign. I track the donations coming in and the expenses going out.

I asked for the opportunity to write to you directly so that I could try to explain what's happening right now.

This organization has thousands of employees and spends millions of dollars a day -- and at the moment we're doing it without a safety net.

Our spending plans have been stretched by John McCain's negative attacks and the overwhelming resources of the Republican National Committee.

As of October 15th, John McCain and the RNC together had nearly $20 million more in cash than the combined total of Obama for America and the DNC. And just this week, we're facing new and unexpected spending against us in Montana and West Virginia.

Your incredible generosity has gotten us this far. But right now we need your help more than ever to get this campaign across the finish line.

Please donate $25 or whatever you can afford right now:

My team and I are working to stretch every dollar in order to keep as many paths to victory open as possible. But we need whatever help you can provide for this crucial final stretch.

Thank you,

MM

I would happily accept a million dollar for a getbig.com endorsement of John Mccain.

Oh brother.  This might be the worst spin of the entire campaign season.  Anyone who believes Obama doesn't have tons more in cash than McCain isn't paying attention.

The RNC announced they're outspending Obama by $10 mil this week.

Are they lying?

Dude if you told me clouds were white I'd ask for pictures.  Link?

And even if the "RNC" is outspending Obama this week, as most of the country knows Obama raised over $150 million last month.  Frankly, it is asinine to even suggest McCain has more money than Obama.

Agreed i dont know what the hell 240 is talking about he is actually falling for republican spin :o  Obama has made $800,000,000 so far, no way mcbush has that much money, if he did he would be spending much more on ads, and they would not of had to pull out of states to save money ::)  come on 240 you should know better ;)

Like I said in the post you quoted, Obama has outspent McCain.  I think I said that, yup, I did...  The link will show you by how much if you change the tab.

also, just after the news of the 150million made in sept, they started asking people to send money to their local dem candidates instead of Obama.

You're right.

Mccain decided to cancel a lot of the GOTV funds, and sink that $ into ad buys in swing states this weekend.

Obama's already bought up this airtime weeks ago.  He also has 5 THOUSAND lawyers pre-paid for their Tuesday shift, working 12 hours that day at precincts.  You'll also have teams filiming polling stations, keeping everyone honest.

Settle down, Joe.

So far, Obama has spent $639 Mil on ads.  Mccain has spent $360 mil on ads.
This last week, McCain does have more $ left - that's a nonpartisan site, and those are the numbers.

Mccain used about 300 million of the RNC's money on his campaign, way beyond his own $85 mil limit.  Candidates always do that.  DNC was pretty broke this year, as you know.  So, if Obama *had* played by the rules and only taken campaign money of 85 mil, then Mccain would have been able to out-spend him 4-to-1.

So obama was fuccked, as the RNC was absolutely loaded.
