Just got an email update from the DNC, which raised $27.7 million in July outraising the RNC for the first time since October of 2004.

The DNC has $28.5 million cash on hand (The RNC has $75 million), while Obama has $65.8 million. At the end of July, the Democratic team had $94.3 million while McCain/Bush/RNC had $96 million.

4. Excellent! I guess Dems. saw LAST month's numbers and wanted to change that situation...

and I can't believe Obama raised so much in July. How is the media going to spin this? They kept saying, up 'til June, that Obama's fundraising was "weakening" until he raised about $50 million in June, at which time the narrative turned to the TOTAL raised by the combination of the nominee and their party, adding that Obama may have trouble keeping up such high monthly totals. Sorry for them that they'll have to come up with a NEW anti-Obama angle.
