According to Politico, John McCain’s finance team must prepare or their most epic battle yet, competing with Barack Obama’s campaign which has the potential to reach over $300 million. A financial rift of this magnitude would allow Obama to compete in more states than McCain, thus giving Obama a clear advantage.
“‘McCain has to make every dollar count in the general election, and Obama will have money to burn,’ said Evan Tracey, co-founder of Campaign Media Analysis Group.”
“Clearly, a major reason for the imbalance is the length of the Democratic primary compared with that of the Republican race. But it’s also a matter of resources: Obama raised nearly three times more money than McCain’s $100 million tally through April.”
