Born at the Crest of the Empire

Obama raised $51 million in July with $65 million cash on hand.

McCain announced $27 million yesterday.

Also notable, the DNC announced $27.7 million raised, which, if you've been following all this, is a huge improvement.

(Why did the Obama camp announce on a Saturday?)

My opinion is that they announced on a Saturday because what matters is not how much you raised, but what you do with it.

Downplay the number, and let the money do the talking later when it matters.

Maybe. After I wrote this post I was thinking that they might have been injecting it into the coverage of the Saddleback church thing tonight.

Give the talking heads something pro-Obama to talk about?

Yeah, maybe.
