I was kind of wondering about this. Every day we hear about how Democrats are being out fund raised and out spent by Republicans.
Yet every month for the last year +, it seems that the Democrat party organizations outraise Republicans. I think there was an article last couple weeks about the Republican Governers group outraising Democrats, but the DNCC has been massively outraising the RNCC.
"So far, the latest figures show that the Democratic Party machinery has outraised its Republican counterpart in this campaign cycle by almost $270 million.
...
The money race totals come to $856 million for the Democratic committees and their aligned outside groups, compared to $677 for their Republican adversaries, based on figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. "
Included in that total: conservative groups have spent $169 million on ads attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates, compared to $80 million by liberal-leaning groups, based on figures as of Tuesday morning. "
Do you Democrats ever get tired of the lies? We heard so much about it when Bush was in charge... nary a word since the immaculation of the professor.

On a slightly related topic. This is getting ridiculous. 1.5 billion spent on the election? Obama raised and spent what 750 million for the presidency, McCain accepted public financing at what 100 million? Meg Whitman is up to like 140 million on the governor's race? I sure as hell don't want to go back to pre Citizens United where only Democrats were allowed to raise and spend millions through unions, but we are talking about a ridiculous amount of money being spent to influence and control the American voter... on both sides.
