Candidates are about to release their fundraising numbers for July, August and September. Every quarter, campaigns play an expectations game where they downplay what they'll bring in and inflate what they expect from their rivals.

Nothing new about that. Still, we couldn't get over the enormous clipart illustration that appeared today at the top of a Clinton campaign news website, HillaryHub.com, along with a headline that screamed "Fundraising Projections: Obama Leads Again."

The picture is down now, although the link to a Newday article remains. Did someone think that maybe it was a little too much?
