The GOP Piggy Bank is Rattling

Money makes the political world go 'round. Obama has proven his ability to raise funds in a big way. So has Clinton. What about John McCain? So far, his fund-raising ability has been questionable. Is it due to the disenchantment of the traditional GOP base with their candidate?

It is going to take a monumental effort on the part of the GOP to offset the financial momentum that Obama has over McCain as we enter into the general election. Obama's base is motivated -- maybe electrified is a better word -- by their candidate. They are excited by their candidate. The same cannot be said for the nominee of the GOP. Will it be a loss due to lack of funding? That is a real danger. McCain must find a way to loosen the purse-strings of the party or he will fail dismally in the general election.
