2. Am I reading this correctly?

Sixty-six million?

Yikes!

Good for him! And for us!

3. we need to keep it up

I wonder what kind of money the DNC is raising, to compliment Obama's total?

reading the article . . . it does look like the republicans only have that one big 'infusion' they can count on, outside of whatever they manage to raise on their own

[KelleyKramer]

4. He still doesnt take PAC money, right?

Is it safe to assume that most of that came from individual donors?

5. Let's make it 66,666,666 for September and October as well

and give the fundies some heartburn.

6. Yea, $100 of that was from me

More coming soon as I can.

7. Obama and his money

What is he waiting for? Spend the money before it is too late, Barak.

11. with $77mil in the bank at the end of the month

. . . it looks like he hasn't been shy about spending it. I might be reading that wrong, but that reads that he only had about $11mil left, besides the $66mil.

He might be looking at the recent report that the Swifties are planning a barrage of ads in the next few weeks.

13. He is spending it opening scores of offices all over the country.

15. Just think how much he could save by logging on to DU for free campaign advice.

;)

[Stargleamer]

8. And he should have been spending massive amounts. . .

during the RNC. I think saving money for later backfired for Kerry, and it backfired to some extent for Obama too.

But actually, to be honest, McCain's rise in the polls is due to his campaign's lying. Democrats, for the most, part have been much more unwilling to engage in downright lies.

9. More ads in Michigan ... more rallies in Michigan.

McCain is advertising aggressively ... some of the most despicable stuff.

[bdamomma]

10. I contributed to that 66 million

come on Obama put out those 527's now. Hit them back hard.

[W_HAMILTON]

12. Me too

And I agree. It seems like everyday on the news, I see them showing another "new ad from John McCain," but I almost never see them say a thing about Obama's ads. Is he even putting stuff out? I assume so, but I just guess the media isn't reporting on it? I *read* he put out an advertisement pointing out how McCain was computer illterate, but I never saw the ad shown on any of the news shows.

So, I hope he starts fighting back as well.

16. They Won't Show OUR Ads On News Shows. Only REPIGLICKIN Ads Are "News"

Free repeats of ads as "news" is a special service the MSM only offers to Republican candidates.

It amounts to about a 10 BILLION dollar gift from the MSM to the RNC.

14. Do you even know what a 527 is?
