Obama raises $71 million in June

In an email to donors, the Obama campaign announces that it has raised a combined $71 million in June with the DNC and various state parties.

I wouldn't worry about how much Romney and the Republicans are raising. The Democrats have the 2 states with the most expensive media markets already locked up - California and New York. They don't have to spend a penny in these states. Factor this in and it's not so bad.
