I hear the Obama campaign spends money like, er, well, liberal Democrats. They'll probably go thru that 8 million by tomorrow night.

RUSH: Now, Ed Lasky at the AmericanThinker.com has a post up: "'Obama's Vanishing Money Advantage.' -- We have heard quite a lot over the past year about Barack Obama's fundraising prowess. But the good times may be over. ... The Wall Street Journal reports on the state of the money race: '...it appears Sen. Obama's money advantage is far smaller than it was assumed to be early on. [...] Fund-raising reports through July show that the DNC and Sen. Obama have raised about $150 million but spent much of it already; going into August, the campaign reported having $68.5 million on hand. The reports also showed that in July, the campaign was spending at a rate that was faster than donations were coming in. The Obama campaign declined to comment on its fund raising or spending in August. One major donor said it is likely the campaign has only a small cash cushion at the moment.'"

By the way, McCain and the RNC have more money on hand than Obama and the DNC. We've all heard the hosannas, all the money Obama's raising, whoa, it's really big, don't forget, here's a guy who promised to accept federal campaign, then when he saw his money coming in he bopped out, broke the promise, and we hear all these stories, "Well, look what a great fundraiser this guy is. People love this guy, all the money, wow." Come to find out that Obama and the DNC have less money than McCain and the RNC. So Obama, running a campaign, spending too much money, failing to deliver the promised benefits, kind of like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge? Democrat social programs. One other thing, ladies and gentlemen. We keep hearing that Obama's primary qualification for running for president is his experience managing his campaign. They abandoned the community organizer line yesterday and replaced with, (paraphrasing) "Hey, I'm qualified. I've been managing my campaign for 18 months, year and a half. I know what I'm doing. I'm Barack Obama."

Well, if the management skills of Obama are such that all these movie sets, phony presidential seals, fancy paint jobs on the airplane, if he's running the campaign and it's running out of money and it's spending more money than is coming in, what kind of thing are we supposed to learn from this, what kind of experience does this demonstrate? It means he's just a typical liberal Democrat who is happy with deficits, will take any amount of money you will send him and spend more of it and then come back to you for more. We're learning that if he's the one actually managing the campaign, he's doing a lousy job of it.

Note that in a communicaiton that campaign manager David Plouffe sent to all Obamaniacs in the wee hours of this morning, he condemns McCain's speech and stresses the need to SEND MONEY. Suh-weet!
