Follow the Money

The Obama campaign is releasing the candidate's first TV ad since clinching the Democratic nomination. Follow the Obama TV ad money as it goes to Georgia and Virginia and North Carolina among other states. It's a clear indication of competitive possibilities as seen by the campaign.

Sen. Obama is following another campaign maxim of defining yourself, if you have the money, before your opponent defines you for voters. The Obama campaign has a big fundraising advantage and the lead will almost certainly continue now that Sen. Obama has decided to bypass the public financing system. His ability to raise money is unmatched.

Sen. McCain has indicated he'll take the public money and its spending limits. But his campaign will be aided by the Republican National Committee, which has more dollars in the bank than the Democratic National Committee.

I read and here this all the time. Obama can raise more money. Why? Why won't the republicans support their candidate.
