Worm Turning

It's one thing for Barack Obama to crush John McCain in July fundraising, $51 million to $27 million. That's expected. What's unexpected is that the DNC outraised the RNC. That's actually astounding. Especially considering that the DNC no longer takes lobbyist or PAC contributions. So they've ceded that entire group to the Republicans, and historically the RNC is a money-raising machine. But the DNC did it, edging the RNC by $27.7 to $26 million, for the first time in four years.

Good for Howard Dean and the DNC.
