As promised. Short version: DNC beat RNC, NRSC edged DSCC, DCCC edged NRCC, and cash on hand would worry me more if the GOP hadn’t just removed the NJ & VA governorships from the Democrats and essentially handed NY-23 as part of a unfortunate but necessary life lesson to the GOP leadership.

Some of their top-down decisions may be not entirely to activist likings right now, but they’re doing useful stuff on the ground level. For example, this video from the NRSC is good, PARTICULARLY at the end.
…and this interactive map from the NRCC on lost jobs appeals to me. I probably shouldn’t admit that, though.

It’s that time again. Short version: RNC beat DNC, but DSCC & DCCC significantly outraised their counterparts – sufficiently so that the Democrats raised more overall for the month. When debt is factored in, the Democrats also went from being significantly behind on cash-on-hand to being slightly ahead. That being said: the RNC and NRCC are both reporting significant increases in small-person donors.

I would like to crunch the numbers for September, except that the DNC hasn’t released their monthly totals yet. Given that the Democrats had great months for both their Senatorial and Congressional campaigns, it’s going to take exceedingly little for the Democrats to have both more money raised and more cash on hand this month. The DNC had over 15 million in the bank last month; even assuming no change in that it’s enough to make for a significant COH advantage.
On the bright side – and it is a significant bright side – small-donor contributions are up for both the RNC and NRCC.
Wouldn’t you know it: I decide not to do anything consequential and the fundraising numbers become available. Short version: the GOP out-raised the Democrats for the first time since April; the NRSC beat out the DSCC for the second month; the NRCC continues to stay essentially tied with the DCCC; and the Democrats aren’t paying their debt down.
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| RNC | 7.87 | 20.97 | 0.00 |
| DNC | 6.89 | 15.34 | 5.33 |
| NRSC | 3.10 | 5.10 | 0.00 |
| DSCC | 2.20 | 6.70 | 2.90 |
| NRCC | 3.15 | 4.20 | 2.00 |
| DCCC | 3.30 | 10.73 | 4.67 |
| GOP | 14.12 | 30.27 | 2.00 |
| Dem | 12.39 | 32.77 | 12.90 |
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 |
Short version: the Democrats had a good month in their Congressional/Senatorial Committee fundraising (double their previous month’s totals, as well as double their Republican counterparts); the RNC is back to outraising the DNC; cash on hand is at parity, except that the GOP is running with a debt that’s 1/10th of their total and the Democrats are running with one that’s half; and this is all very different than this time in 2007.
| Raised | CoH | Debts | |
| RNC | 8.00 | 23.70 | 0.00 |
| DNC | 6.75 | 13.03 | 4.91 |
| NRSC | 3.40 | 4.30 | 0.00 |
| DSCC | 6.20 | 7.90 | 3.70 |
| NRCC | 3.14 | 4.16 | 3.25 |
| DCCC | 7.10 | 9.70 | 6.00 |
| GOP | 14.54 | 32.16 | 3.25 |
| Dem | 20.05 | 30.63 | 14.61 |
Let’s start with the NRCC’s incentive program for last-minute 2Q donations that they announced yesterday:
Every dollar you give through tomorrow, June 30th, will be quadrupled. So if you give $5, we’ll make it $20. If you can afford $25, we’ll make it $100.
That’s four times the impact of a normal contribution, and it will be put to immediate use replacing Pelosi’s puppets in Congress with principled, conservative Republicans.
At this point, somebody has reflexively started a very long comment on why this offer should be ignored. While he’s writing it, let me explain why you shouldn’t. Continue reading Why you should be taking advantage of this NRCC offer.
Yup, it’s that time again. Short version: the DNC beat the RNC last month, thanks to a Presidential fundraiser; but the NRSC actually raised more money last month than the DSCC; and the DCCC raised only about 200K more than the NRCC. While the cash-on-hand edge for the GOP is less than it was last month’s, it’s because the Democrats are still not retiring their debt, which is 4x the GOP’s.
