Patrick Ruffini is collecting the evidence that Team Obama is facing a cash crunch: A telemarketing call to donors that tries to defend him on FISA, a David Plouffe video asking for funds, and the fact that Obama is actually holding back on ad spending (getting outspent by McCain three to one).
I would add to that list the fact that Obama’s June numbers won’t come out any sooner than required, and a July 9 report that “major donors to Barack Obama’s campaign were told Wednesday evening that fundraising efforts were ‘a little slow.’”
Regarding his June fundraising, the Obama camp denied the $30 million number the Wall Street Journal. I figured even $44 million would be worth bragging about, as it’s twice McCain’s haul.
So what’s the expectations? Mid-thirties? High thirties? Even that would seem like something to tout, as they could at least brag they had bounced back from their decline — $55 million in February, $41 million in March, almost $31 million in April, about $22 million in May…
