This is going to be a short diary. It looks like Obama isn't raising money as quickly as projected. He is starting to lag behind and his monthly numbers is declining. Meanwhile, McSame is having the best fundraising month of his campaign.
There is an article in the Washington post that goes into detail.
The key point is:
Several of Obama's top fundraisers said yesterday that they don't think trend lines showing three straight months of declining donations to the candidate are cause for concern. But they said the campaign has recognized it will need to expand efforts to raise money from high-dollar donors in order to meet budget projections.
Looks like small donor donations are not happening prob due to several reasons:
- Hillary Supporters are not going to lift a finger for Obama to help with the money problem. (Maybe they will help if he retires her debt which she spent when she knew all was lost to attack him)
- Obama voting for FISA has brought out Republican moles and ideological purists who will vote but won't help with the cash flow.
- It's the summer and people don't really care.
* 4. I'm adding this one because some of the comments seem to indicate as much: The economy sucks and people can't afford it.
Update: McCain adviser states that they're outspending Obama's campaign 3 to 1 in ads.
Donate..I just gave 25 dollars.
