but is there a psychological advantage when it comes to outraising the other side? i think it s good for the obama campaign in terms of showing enthusiasm. for the first time, today raise more money than april. i think overall, as other people have said, there s so much money, one. and then, two republican sewer packs are vastly outraising the democrat sewer packs. you ll see more ads that are anti-obama and pro-obama. this one month is not going to tell us a whole lot about fundraising in the campaign. mitt romney has more cash on hand, we should say, but the obama campaign has spent more up until now. take a look at the numbers. through july, barack obama, $481.5 million. romney, $325.9. so you have these two different strategies really. you have the obama campaign, spend early, define your opponent. the romney campaign seems to be let s do a late blitz when they think it will matter the most. is it clear who s right?
