Looks like the money disparity is catching up to McCain. If this is accurate how do you think it will impact the final outcome? FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right
The decision to finance a final advertising push is forcing McCain to curtail spending on Election Day ground forces to help usher his supporters to the polls, according to Republican consultants familiar with McCain's strategy.
The vaunted, 72-hour plan that President Bush used to mobilize voters in 2000 and 2004 has been scaled back for McCain. He has spent half as much as Obama on staffing and has opened far fewer field offices. This week, a number of veteran GOP operatives who orchestrate door-to-door efforts to get voters to the polls were told they should not expect to receive plane tickets, rental cars or hotel rooms from the campaign.

Gee, bet they wish they had that $150,000 right about now...
To be honest had Nobama not broken his promise on campaign finance then he wouldn't have afforded it either. McCain didn't break a promise, Nobama did and he broke it for his own personal gain, what a guy.
McCain has mismanaged his money. Imagine what a 30 minute positive speech on national television could have done for him rather than attack ad after attack ad.

Yup! I guess we can tell which one has integrity, and it's not Obama.

"Nobama" saw the grassroots possibilities and he went with that. McCain would have too, if he'd had a grassroots. Sour grapes.

What does money have to do with it? If Obama was broke, his supporters would STILL be out there campaigning for him. They are called volunteers. Where are McCains?? Maybe some should stop posting stupid crap on the internet and go help get their voters to the polls.
I swear, every day that goes by they think of five more excuses for why they lost.
