Richer

I just got this as part of an email from Marianne Markowitz, CFO of Obama's campign:

As of October 15th, John McCain and the RNC together had nearly $20 million more in cash than the combined total of Obama for America and the DNC. And just this week, we're facing new and unexpected spending against us in Montana and West Virginia.

Really? Is there some aspect of this stat that is misleading? Or is the RNC just that much richer than the DNC?

Have I fallen victim to a GOP Talking Point that Obama's "outspending" McCain?

Update: Yglesias was also unimpressed by this email.
