...Election Day," Blakeman said. "Not only does Obama have to get his message out, he now has to fund-raise every day for the next four months." By accepting public funds, McCain must abide by an $85 million cap on his spending, which is where the Republican National Committee (RNC) comes in. The RNC, which can run some ads on behalf of McCain and unlimited ads in support of the party, has already doubled its Democratic counterpart's fund-raising this year, bringing in $167.7 million as of June 24, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Four years later, the RNC recruited some 50,000 Catholic team leaders to conduct parish-level outreach for Bush's reelection campaign; the volunteers were led on the ground by more than 75 field coordinators working for the party. Their efforts were supplemented by a group of outside organizations funded by leading conservative Catholics like Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino's Pizza. One of these groups, Priests for Life, spent $1 million on television and newspaper ads in the last month of the campaign...
