I think Obama's money advantage is being blown out of proportion around here. Yes, he does have an advantage, but in May, I believe McCain and the RNC were even or slightly ahead of Obama and the DNC. McCain will have good money come the general. I think its very unwise for him to be staffing states like Utah, Oklahoma, Wyoming etc .. but if he wants to sink money there, go right ahead...
The RNC needs a lot of that money to help out the struggling RSCC and RCCC, lest they want a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate and another 20-30 seat Dem pickup in the House. Plus, Obama + Clinton + DNC is still much more than McCain + RNC.
Obviously I support this. While we won't win states like Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma or Alabama, it's good to compete. Getting a President elected is great, but even better is a Democratic President, a Democratic congress and Democratic governorships and state legislatures. That's what running a 50-state campaign does.
