"Obama has been raising money for the 2012 election at a pace comparable to his 2008 effort -- even though this time around, he won't have to spend money fighting primary competitors. The Republican candidates have lagged by comparison; Obama has been out-raising all of them combined.
Should the trend continue, Obama will enter the general election with an enormous cash advantage over his eventual opponent. Conservative super PACs may help make up the difference but their money will not be under the direct control of the Republican nominee.
If Obama does end up with a fiscal advantage in 2012, he can thank, in part, the campaigns of Republicans Steve Forbes and George W. Bush for changing the rules of the game. That, plus he's a quick study.
