First, the good news: The Obama re-election campaign raised $114 million in August. Next, the better news: That’s more than the Romney campaign ($111.6 million) reported for the same month. Then, even better news: The Obama campaign is now better than even money to exceed the record $750 million it raised for the historic, barrier-breaking 2008 campaign.
Now, the bad news: The reinforcement that we have an increasingly Super PAC-driven political system that is fueled by obscene amounts of money.
