In this article from the 13th, it states that the president and the democratic party so far have raised 240 million dollars for the obama campaign next year. This is equivelant to that of former president Bush's in his reelection campain in'04. This number is crucial for Obama because some say he is going to need every penny he can get especially if running against Romney. Because Romney himself already has 56 million on his own without the republicans. The democrats however are on track so far as they have a plan on how to use the money right from the start. They want to control how the campaigning goes for their own advantage giving them the best shot to win. This could change voters' minds because it may cause the republicans to join together and start supporting one candidate who they all beleive has the best shot at beating president Obama even if it may not be their choice they feel at heart. This has showed me that the democrats are well prepared for a tough race and accept the fact that it may not be easy, but won't accept losing.
