Cash heavy Obama campaign shipping money to state parties

SHARE Cash heavy Obama campaign shipping money to state parties

WASHINGTON–The cash rich Obama for America campaign committee, Obama’s original presidential warchest, has so much money around that it shipped some $4 million in September to Democratic parties in key battleground states to get out the vote for Obama and lower ticket races.

This expenditure of what is called “hard dollars”–money raised under federal limits– is a remarkable example of the stunning amount of cash OFA has to spend. The money to the state parties is on top of two other committees Obama has to bankroll GOTV (get out the vote) drives: the Committee for Change, formed in July and the Obama Victory Fund, run with the Democratic National Committee, created after it was clear Obama would be the nominee.
