President Barack Obama’s campaign officials say they are braced for an election decided by a razor-thin margin and are counting on their political organization in key states to overcome what they expect will be Republican Mitt Romney’s money advantage.
The president’s political advisers said that outside political action committees supporting Romney are likely to pour as much as $1 billion into the race, outspending Obama and the Democrats. One of the so-called super PACs supporting Romney, Restore Our Future, reported raising almost $5 million in May and had about $8.4 on hand at the end of the month.
