Barack Obama’s camaign is pumping in record amounts of cash. Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Democratic National Committee has a mere fraction of the cash on hand as does the Republican National Committee. Rick Moran, American Thinker [1]:
The Republican National Committee has nearly 6 times the amount of money on hand at the end of August as their Democratic party counterparts:
Is the Obama campaign pumping the democrat money wells dry? It appears so. With the republican brand showing new signs of life, it could make for an interesting fall. Ed Morrissey, Hot Air, [2] wonders if New York State might be in play:
According to the New York Post [3], internal polling by both Democrats and Republicans show Barack Obama beginning to fade in New York. Once considered an unassailable bastion for Democrats, the Empire State has narrowed to a potential catastrophe for them, all the way down the ticket
If BO has to battle for blue states like New York and Minnesota, the campaign ship Hope is sunk.
Update and bump:
John Bresnahan, Politico [4], writes “Cash-poor Obama says no to [Dirty Harry] Reid:”
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank.
Obama’s campaign said no
The Obama campaign is pumping in record amonts of money and is yet effectlvely broke. Evidenlty BO call for shared sacrifice, does not extend to sharing his campaign loot. Who would have thought?
