McCain is Flush With Cash - and Outspending Obama

Newsweek has a good explanation of how McCain, while consistently raising less money, is able to outspend Obama. Essentially (1) the RNC is rich - and McCain has access to that, (2) he'll get $84M in public financing, (3) the GOP already has a good ground game (which Obama is spending money to match) and can, therefore, use money for TV and Radio.
