First, the video says that the DNC has 4.4m in cash on hand compared to 53.6m cash on hand for the RNC. Together, the RNC and the McCain campaign has 96m cash on hand. Point is, the DNC is broke compared to the RNC. This is another reason why Obama opted out of public finance.

Good point thought you'll have to say the ad is a bit misleading. The DNC fund-raising thus far has been pitiful under Howard Dean but then what did you expect. Dean is a train wreck and the Democrats don't seem to hold him accountable. Overall Obama has personally out raised McCain in every month and has set personal records in doing so throughout his campaign.
Also from all the reports I've seen Obama is the one outspending McCain in most the Country on advertising. Funny thing though...McCain needs the RNC as much as the DNC needs Obama.
