A lot was made of Obama's enormous fundraising edge, but it may well turn out to be irrelevant. To this point he has outspent McCain by more than 2:1, and of particular importance is that he doubled McCain's ad spending in July, yet we all know what the current polls say. So McCain can also claim that he will be better on the economy than Obama, as he can point to running even with someone who has spent twice the money.
