Pushing a fund-raiser later this month, a finance staff member sent a sharply worded note last week to Illinois members of its national finance committee, calling their recent efforts “extremely anemic.”

At a convention-week meeting in Denver of the campaign’s top fund-raisers, buttons with the image of a money tree were distributed to those who had already contributed the maximum $2,300 to the general election, a subtle reminder to those who had failed to ante up.

The signs of concern have become evident in recent weeks as early fund-raising totals have suggested that Mr. Obama’s decision to bypass public financing may not necessarily afford him the commanding financing advantage over Senator John McCain that many had originally predicted.

5. Obama Broke Money Record

While I'm in no way saying that we shouldn't continue to send send send, I thought I'd post this in case it hasn't been see by anyone yet.

I remember the Times saying that Obama only raised like 31 or 32 million in July and we all saw how far off they were.

Perhaps this story is an outlier, I don't know. But the Times really hasn't been all that accurate lately.

I say we continue to give and see if we can top the August record number, whatever it turns out to be.
