Wait for it... wait for it...
Obama's seems to always have something up his sleeve. The man's campaign has been almost too carefully laid out. Of course he saved the o'reilly (he doesn't deserve capitalization) interview for when he really needed it. He didn't hit John Sidney McCain III hard until his speech in Denver.
August fundraising numbers are coming in, and the Obama campaign is reporting that it broke the 55 million mark. By how much, we don't know. There's talk out in the interwebs about campaign leaks about "anemic fundraising" is just a ploy. I agree, the Obama campaign doesn't leak things with out the prior knowledge of anyone in the chain of command.
September is just starting! Massive contributions are predicted for the Presidential race. I'm still confident that he'll at least match McCain's funds by the end of September. The last 60 days will be a donation flurry. It seems Obama supporters on the whole get even, by contributing more during bad press cycles. He will be able to spend with impugnity. Might we expect national spots during the debates? Sidney can spend during the talkshows and soap operas and game shows. Obama can probably afford primetime. The debates will be widely watched, so it seems perfect.
Predictions on what else might be up Obama's sleeve? Chuck Hagel or Colin Powell endorsements? Ike rises from the dead to endorse Obama?
