Obama's Money Is More Than a Match for Republicans'

By Jonathan D. Salant

Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Republican Party's fundraising prowess isn't proving enough to overtake Barack Obama's spending advantage over John McCain in the presidential campaign's homestretch.

For example, the Democratic nominee outspent his opponent $17.8 million to $8.2 million in TV advertising in contested states during the week of Sept. 29, the Television Advertising Bureau reported.

``We're in a strong position,'' said David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist. ``A stronger position, it's fair to say, than Democrats have been relative to Republican nominees in the past few cycles.''

Obama may have raised more than $100 million in September alone and probably will outspend McCain by a similar amount in the two-month period concluding with the Nov. 4 election, Democrats say. The September figure must be reported to the Federal Election Commission by Oct. 20.

McCain accepted $84.1 million in taxpayer money for the general-election campaign, barring him from raising additional funds. But he can raise money for the Republican Party, which then can spend on behalf of his campaign. Obama declined public funds, letting him raise an unlimited amount of money privately.

RNC Spending

The Republican National Committee reported spending $16.5 million through Oct. 14 independently of McCain's campaign, dwarfing the $1.1 million by its Democratic counterpart. The party said on Oct. 16 it will spend another $18 million on ads in the competitive states of Colorado, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The RNC, in a joint effort with the McCain campaign, raised $48 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, FEC figures show.

RNC spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson referred requests for comment to Brad Todd, who works on the party's independent- expenditure unit. He didn't return calls.

McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, are seeking more help for the campaign's final days. ``Our team of reformers is ready to lead,'' Palin wrote in an e-mail solicitation this week. ``But we'll get never get there without your support.''

Major Contributors

Among major contributors to the joint RNC-McCain fundraising effort are individuals who raised at least $200,000 for President George W. Bush's re-election campaign in 2004, FEC records show. The donors: Richard Farmer, founder of Cincinnati-based Cintas Corp., his relatives and other executives contributed $44,600; William DeWitt, co-chairman of Cincinnati-based investment firm Reynolds, DeWitt & Co. and Katherine DeWitt contributed $25,000 apiece.

Also, Facundo Bacardi, chairman of Bermuda-based Bacardi Ltd., and Elizabeth Bacardi each gave $40,800 to the RNC. Andrew Puzder, president of Carpinteria, California-based CKE Restaurants Inc., contributed $43,100.

The National Rifle Association has spent $3.9 million in support of McCain, and the American Issues Project, which supports gun rights and opposes abortion, has contributed $2.9 million.

As for the Democrats, FEC records show that organized labor has spent $31.4 million through Oct. 14 for Obama's candidacy. The Service Employees International Union has spent $23.3 million. Moveon.org, which opposes the Iraq War, spent $5 million.

``The reason the RNC has so much money to spend is thanks to the lobbyists and special interests who want John McCain to win,'' Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Karen Finney said. ``We hope to overcome that with Obama's vision to change Washington and strong grassroots support all over the country.''

Battleground States

Obama's superior resources are helping him compete in traditionally Republican states.

In North Carolina, he spent $1.2 million on TV ads between Sept. 28 and Oct. 4, compared with $148,000 for McCain, according to a study by the University of Wisconsin. In Virginia, Obama spent $2.1 million to McCain's $547,000, the report said.

In the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, Obama outspent McCain 3-1, TVB Research Director Jack Poor said. McCain announced Oct. 3 that he would no longer compete in Michigan.

The parties can spend $19 million in coordination with their presidential nominees and an unlimited amount independently. They can also share the cost of so-called hybrid ads that tout both the nominee and the party.

Between Sept. 6-13, for example, 57 percent of McCain's $7.8 million in TV advertising was run in a cost-sharing arrangement with the RNC, the Wisconsin study found. Obama paid the cost of his $7.8 million in ads out of his campaign treasury.

He is also raising money for the Democratic National Committee. Two Philadelphia fundraisers Oct. 10 netted more than $6 million for his campaign and the party.

Obama had $77.4 million in the bank as of Aug. 31 to $27 million for McCain, according to the latest available figures.

The RNC reported $76 million in the bank as of Aug. 31 compared with $17.5 million for its Democratic counterpart.

Analysis: Obama money dooms current public finance

When the Democratic presidential candidate reneged on his pledge to take public financing for the general election, campaign watchdog groups and newspaper editorialists pounced. They all hoped he would help salvage a broken campaign finance system.

Instead, he created a whole new one, and he destined the current system of public financing to the trash heap.

On Sunday, Obama's campaign announced he had raised more than $150 million in September alone, a previously unimaginable fundraising rate of $5 million a day. Republican rival John McCain, who chose to participate in the public system, has been limited by law to spending only $84 million in September and October.

At Obama's clip, his fundraising will easily surpass the $650 million total spent by President Bush and Democrat John Kerry combined in 2004. Indeed, by using sophisticated new social networking tools to reach legions of small donors, Obama has already exceeded the forecasts of some campaign finance seers who two years ago were predicting the two parties' nominees would each spend about $500 million.

The extraordinary sum vindicated Obama's decision. It also made a public finance system born after the excesses of the Watergate era look decidedly quaint.

"People will look back at 2008 as the year that Barack Obama once and for all destroyed public financing as we know it," said Todd Harris, a Republican strategist who worked on McCain's 2000 presidential campaign. "It will be very difficult four years from now for any candidate to make the case that they should participate in public financing given the obvious financial advantage that Obama has received by opting out."

But while Obama has rewritten campaign finance rules with his use of technology and personal outreach, he has also taken advantage of a changing social and political landscape that suited his message and his celebrity. As a result, his campaign says, he has 3.1 million donors, with more than 600,000 new ones contributing just in September.

Obama reached them through Facebook and MySpace, by e-mail and by phone text. A purchase of Obama merchandise on the Web guaranteed you a place as a donor; so did attendance at his popular and crowded rallies. Those donors, in turn, were encouraged to reach out virally to even more.

"He has developed a donor base that is comparable to what we would consider a donor base for a national political party," said Anthony Corrado, a political scientist and an expert on political money at Colby College in Maine.

But advocates of a public finance system aren't eager to give up on a system that relies on voluntary taxpayer contributions on their annual tax returns. And while Obama backed away from his promise to take public money if McCain did, they want him to live up to his pledge to fix the system if he becomes president.

"The question for Democrats is will they decide to go forward with something that is not to their immediate advantage," said David Donnelly, director of Campaign Money Watch.

Whether other politicians could replicate Obama's feat is certainly an open question. But political campaigns tend to model themselves on the last successful effort. If Obama goes on to win the White House, his fundraising model will be the first chapter in future campaign playbooks.

"The experience of this campaign will lead to a retrospective evaluation that McCain made a mistake in opting in (for public financing) and that Obama did the right thing by opting out," Corrado said.

Some Republicans have argued that McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as a running mate so galvanized the Republican base that he might have been able to raise more money for the general election than the $84 million he received.

But McCain and Obama have operated on separate tracks. McCain's fundraising apparatus was not set up like Obama's and McCain has never shown an affinity for fundraising anyway.

Instead, he has had to rely on the Republican National Committee to supplement his restricted finances. And while their combined forces had given them some parity with Obama and the Democratic National Committee, Obama's September performance amounted to a fifth gear that the GOP simply didn't have.

Obama's fundraising advantage has been evident for some time. He is outspending McCain and the RNC by more than 2-1 in advertising; without the RNC, he's outspending McCain nearly 4-1 in TV ads. He's been able to expand the field of competitive states to typically Republican states and secured his standing in typically Democratic states.

Still, it's easy to overstate the significance of Obama's millions. His success so far in national and state public opinion polls also reflects a toxic political environment for McCain and Republicans. Bush's unpopularity and the crisis in the financial markets have hurt Republican candidates up and down the ballot.

And finding the key to unleash a torrent of small donors is only part of a successful political equation. Howard Dean surged as a candidate with his unprecedented Internet fundraising in advance of the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries. He lost.

Obama Buck

He has suffered a lot at the hands of racists anyway. As if being called negr*, kool aid, ribs n friend chicken and WATERMELON wasn’t enough, now a republican women’s club (well… ) in San Bernardino has come up with with a humourous (yeah right!) food stamp where Barack obama is seen in the middle of all that on a $10 currency note.

Obama Buck Supporters Drink Racist Kool-Aid to Survive

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Finally, the Chaffey Community Republican Women's newsletter published by apparent racist Diane Fedele confirms what Obama supporters have known all along.
