Obama raised $778.6 Million for the general election in 2008 and spent $760.4 million. Bernie while popular, doesn't have the ground swell Obama had. Where the heck is he going to get the money with no super-pacs, or moneyed donors. Surely his college and young adult fans won't be able to fund his campaign. It will be interesting to see from whom he accepts contributions. However I'm hoping we never have to find out.
