I feel even more confident about what I said a week and a half ago. The Obama campaign raised $150 million in the month of September alone. Obama had set the record for monthly fundraising the previous month when he raised $66 million. That certainly helps to explain some of the turns in the campaign over the last couple of weeks. The McCain camp really had no choice but to pull out of some states and really focus their efforts to have any chance of being in this. They just don’t have the money to compete.
