Republican candidates/RNC have outraised Obama/DNC for at least 9 of the past 13 mos. (I'm not sure about Jan-Apr).

And Romney and the RNC outraised Team Obama yet again in July.
Romney for President, Romney Victory fund, RNC announce they raised over $101.3 million in July. Total of $185.9 million in cash on hand—

How can this be? The media have been incessantly trying to tell us that Romney has had a totally gaffe-y month!
Twitter users provide some answers.

Obama/DNC falls short for 3rd straight month – raises $75 million in July compared to $101 for RNC/Romney ….support waning—
Sean Spicer (@seanspicer) August 06, 2012
Oh my @gop & @MittRomney raise $101 million in July. HUGE month, taking it to the Dems!—

One Twitter user kindly reminds Obama For America press secretary Ben LaBolt of a little foot-in-mouth remark.
From 6/7 MT @BenLaBolt Reminder on RNC/Romney fundraising: 1st month joint committee, so all their primary donors wrote their maxout checks.—

Irony of @BenLaBolt's tweet: Romney/RNC have out raised Obama/DNC for 3 straight months—
Matt Sauvage (@mattsauvage) August 06, 2012
Boom!

And, wrong again, Ben LaBolt!
BuzzFeed seems to be the hardest hit.
But Buzzfeed said Romney's last 40 days were bad! RT @jamiedupree OOM – Romney/RNC raise $101 million to $75 million for Obama/DNC in July—

Oh, snap! Still, BuzzFeed valiantly tries to further the false narrative with a new, lame angle.
Romney's campaign has been defined by fundraising. He'll find out soon whether it was worth the time. buzzfeed.com/bensmith/what-… by @buzzfeedben—

Ben Smith even repeats the already disproved claim that Obama’s campaign was all about small-dollar donors. Why let pesky facts get in the way, when there is a desperate narrative to attempt?
Bless their hearts!
Here’s the real truth: The overwhelming response to Romney and the RNC? Obama built that. Thanks, champ! Mitt Romney tweeted something the other day that rings true.
Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a blow to struggling middle-class families. Americans deserve better and we can do better.—

Clearly, citizens think so as well. And they are betting on Mitt Romney.
