Political bits
(Ambinder) The DNC raised $22 million in June with $20 million cash on hand.
(FirstRead) That gives Obama/DNC $92 million CoH compared to McCain/RNC $95 million CoH. (Notable because the RNC had an extra three months of fundraising.)
(Ambinder) Obama opened six campaign offices in Montana. (Quick: Name 6 cities in Montana.)
(Montana is a possibility, but I think alot of these campaign offices are as much about tapping into the passion and volunteers that are everywhere. There was a good piece a month ago stating that the Obama camp was planning to turn its Texas volunteers into generic Dem volunteers to help Congressional and state candidates.)
(Politico) The RNC sues to protect its elephant trademark. (Too bad they can't sue to protect the "brand".)
The traders on Intrade are "buying Obama".

Obama opened 20 offices in Virginia! One across the street from my office in very red Harrisonburg, and they were eyeing my wife's building in Staunton.
Boo ya!

Yeah. That's a big operation. That's one I think they expect to take a real run at.
In usual campaigns, the offices are to organize the local pols and work the press, but I really think Obama's main goal is to coordinate all the volunteers.

Obama's operation is amazing. For critics that say he has no experience, he's only heading the strongest ground game we've ever witnessed.
