"Mr Obama is so confident in his fund-raising ability that he asked his donors this week to help Hillary Clinton settle the debts she ran up while running against him. So far, Mr Obama has raised more than twice as much as John McCain—$287m to $120m. During the general election campaign, Mr McCain, who is accepting public funds, will be allowed to spend no more than $84.1m. Mr Obama could easily have $300m to play with. Not much of the fair fight about that."
