Politico: Obama lost July fundraising race

President Obama’s Connecticut fundraisers today come as Politico reports this morning that Obama lagged presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in fundraising in July.

This, despite hauling in $75 million. Such are the magnitude of the fundraising operations these days, not only the candidates’ efforts but the various third-party entities that will pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the race on their own.

Obama released much of this information on Twitter.
