Oops!

Obama spokesperson, Dan Pfeiffer, last week:

It appears that after 18 months, some in the press still haven't realized that anyone who is talking about numbers doesn't know what our numbers are.


NRO
:
In fact, you have to think that if [Obama's] number was say, $44 million, doubling McCain’s collection for the month, we would have heard that, too.


WSJ:
Meanwhile, June fund-raising for Sen. Obama appears to be falling below the expectations of some supporters. The campaign hasn't released its June numbers, but people close to the fund-raising operation say the total will likely be just over $30 million.

Lynn Sweet:
The Obama campaign has yet to release its June fund-raising numbers and that suggests they did not raise as much money as they hoped.


...And yet, as we learned this morning:

Senator Barack Obama raised $52 million in June, his campaign announced on Thursday morning, more than twice the amount he raised one month earlier before claiming the Democratic presidential nomination.
