In your response you answered your own question - even though he is the GOP candidate, one of the FOUR Democrats running nearly matched his totals. Or to put it another way the combined Dem fundraising almost equalled a $1,000,000. And again, the RNC, in order to finance McCain, isn’t going to be able to help him and the other Congressional GOP candidates later on i.e. their primary is over and they’ve coaleasced around a candidate. Not good.
I don’t know why you think the RNC isn’t going to fund anything other than McCain.
Since we aren’t giving money to the RNC, who cares? There’s also the NRCC, and Keith is having his own fundraising.
And Tom Davis was an excellent fundraiser as well.
His biggest problem is that the democrats have better name recognition.
