Short version: the DNC kept quiet about its fundraising for a reason; the NRSC & DSCC remain tied in their ability to bring in cash; the DCCC is underperforming; and that debt problem is still looming for the Democrats.
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| RNC | 5.76 | 24.38 | 0.00 |
| DNC | 4.52 | 9.09 | 5.42 |
| NRSC | 2.93 | 2.65 | 0.00 |
| DSCC | 3.13 | 2.63 | 4.58 |
| NRCC | 2.23 | 3.69 | 5.00 |
| DCCC | 3.05 | 4.03 | 7.33 |
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| GOP | 10.92 | 30.72 | 5 |
| Dem | 10.70 | 15.75 | 17.33 |
Comparison to last month:
| Raised | CoH | Debt | |
| RNC | 6.7 | 23.9 | 0 |
| DNC | 7.57 | 9.7 | 6.9 |
| NRSC | 4.94 | 2.7 | 1 |
| DSCC | 5 | 7.2 | 10.8 |
| NRCC | 5.3 | 3.33 | 5 |
| DCCC | 10.2 | 3.34 | 8 |
The major point of interest here is that – in marked contrast to this time in 2007 (2008 was in the middle of a Presidential primary season, so I don’t think it’s a valid comparison) the Democrats do not have a cash-on-hand advantage. They’re also still in debt – the DCCC in particular – and it’s not one that they can actually pay off at the moment. Revenues are coming in at actually only a little lower overall than during this point in the last election cycle, but the relative available cash and debts of the two parties have pretty much flipped. This is probably not going to change much for May; how the fundraising this summer goes is going to be interesting to see.
Bottom line? For a organization that’s supposedly simultaneously dead, hated, at war with itself, and shrinking, the Republican Party seems to be oddly functional.

The NRCC Needs To Pay Down Its Debt!
IJB Thursday, May 21st at 12:22AM EST (link)The DCCC is paying down its debt at a much faster rate. The NRCC needs to focus on paying off that debt by the end of summer (and sooner would be better).
And if the Republicans can stop obama there money game will increase proportionately
bobojake (Diary) Thursday, May 21st at 1:06AM EST (link)They need to call obama, schummmmmer, reid and Peloski down on all their lies. Schummmmmer always is looking for a microphone and telling lies. If my mind serves me right biden a democrat from Delaware and Dashle Democrat from south Dakota protected the credit card companies the last 25 years by making South Dakota and Delaware Sanctuary States for Credit Card company that wanted to rip off consumers. Thank Democrats again for destroying our economy
1. Housing obama, dodd, reid, peloski, frank, waters
2. banking obama, schummmmmmer, Geithner, dodd, rangel
3. Auto Industry obama, obama, obama, obama.
Heh

Just think what we would accomplish if we weren’t battling all that!
