McCain expects to fall behind badly once Dems have a nominee

McCain Warns That Democrats Will Unify

From the latest Evans-Novak Political Report:

"Obama's difficulties and the prolongation of the Clinton-Obama confrontation have lifted Republicans from their slough of despondence to optimism about the presidential election. The transformation from deep pessimism to overriding optimism is such that McCain is privately warning supporters that once the nomination is decided and supporters of the losing Democratic candidate return to the fold, he will fall behind badly (though, McCain hopes, temporarily)."

Also: "High-level Republican contributors and fund-raisers complain that the McCain campaign has not got its act in order and is still badly disorganized. This comes from very heavy GOP hitters."

1. Voter turnout.

If we can get all the record setting Democratic voters from the Primaries to vote under one candidate in the General Election...well, he should be afraid.

3. He's right.

And he got ZERO national bounce when he locked up the Puke nomination.

5. The fund raising favors the Dems heavily.

McBush is having a tough time raising funds.


This is from the AZ Republic:
The flow of contributions to the candidates is overwhelmingly toward the Democrats and specifically toward Obama, who raised an astonishing $41 million in March, 2½ times the amount raised by the likely GOP nominee, McCain.
