Short version: Democrats had a good month for the DNC – they beat out the RNC for a change – which was enough to let them end with a edge in amount raised and total cash-on-hand of a couple million. Fortunately, July fundraising for the congressional and senatorial committees was not a repeat of June’s: despite their having a significant edge in membership, the DSCC lagged the NRSC and the DCCC barely edged the NRCC. And the debt still remains significant on the Democrats’ side.
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| RNC | 6.26 | 21.84 | 0.00 |
| DNC | 9.29 | 16.32 | 5.13 |
| NRSC | 2.75 | 4.43 | 0.00 |
| DSCC | 2.04 | 7.15 | 3.33 |
| NRCC | 3.08 | 4.01 | 2.75 |
| DCCC | 3.20 | 10.22 | 5.30 |
| GOP | 12.09 | 30.28 | 2.75 |
| Dem | 14.53 | 33.69 | 13.76 |
As noted above: good month for the DNC – good enough to give the Democrats an edge in money-on-hand for the first time in a while – but not the excellent month that the DCCC & DSCC enjoyed in June. I can only assume at this point that the Democratic committees have a reason for not reducing their debt, even if it’s only to keeping up appearances. The probably most impressive numbers here are from the NRCC: given the seventy-seat difference in the House, just staying even is an accomplishment.
Nonetheless, campaigns go nowhere without money:

PS: For a comparison, numbers from July 2007 (derived from FEC records and here):
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| RNC | 5.84 | 16.10 | 0.00 |
| DNC | 3.40 | 3.90 | 2.00 |
| NRSC | 2.24 | 6.50 | 0.00 |
| DSCC | 2.90 | 20.56 | 4.00 |
| NRCC | 2.56 | 1.98 | 4.10 |
| DCCC | 4.12 | 21.28 | 3.56 |
| GOP | 10.64 | 24.58 | 4.10 |
| Dem | 10.42 | 45.74 | 9.56 |
That kind of cash-on-hand advantage was a powerful weapon for the Democrats in the 2008 elections – and it’s starting to look like they won’t have it this time around.
