Barack Obama's $52-million June: The Swamp

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign raised $52 million in June, his campaign manager said this morning - not quite a record for the high-flying campaign, but close to it. The campaign had raised $55 million in February, during the Democratic primaries.

But it's still more than twice what Republican rival Sen. John McCain raised during June -- $22 million.

Yeah, pretty funny.

McCain has had difficulties raising cash. Fortunately for him the Republican Party still has friends with deep pockets so that's where Most of McCains' funding may have to come from.

By the end of June, the Republican National Committee had nearly $68 million in the bank to help support the Arizona senator in the final push to the November 4 presidential election against Obama.

In contrast, the Democratic National Committee had just $4 million in the bank.

Plouffe said that McCain and the Republican National Committee still have a huge cash advantage, with nearly $100 million in the bank at the end of June.
He will need it and more.

Keep on laughing. Your feller's shine is starting to lose it's brightness. Come on...you are noticing that aren't you. All the $$$ in the world can't help him after he is forced to debate with a teleprompter or script.

It's a long way till Nov. But, please keep sending Mr. Obama $$$ if you have it to throw out.

How long have you been saying that now? And yet he still keeps winning EVERY head to head voting poll and keeps drawing in huge sums of support cash.
