Fundraising. If the MSM can show that dems are in the lead and tracking positive, their fundraising results increase by 20%-40%.
People give more when they believe they are giving to a winner.
Bob is right no fundraising if you are losing. Obama’s strategy was to pass on the funding and do it himself. This strategy only works when you are way ahead. This is why there was so much panic within the Dem Party and why they had to come up with the false stories on Obama having a record month for fundraising.
It is also a push poll to get Americans to believe Obama is a winner. The Dem Vote Fraud Machine will be as active as ever but I believe McCain will win.
