WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee again outraised its Democratic rival last month and is sitting on a $3 million lead, according to campaign finance reports filed Saturday.
The RNC raised $10.1 million in August and has $14.5 million in the bank to pay for polling, data and get-out-the-vote efforts for November’s midterm elections. The filing also shows the RNC spent heavily last month, unleashing almost $9.5 million in spending.
The Democratic National Committee on Friday reported raising $7.4 million last month but also owing almost $2 million to vendors. The DNC spent more than $5.8 million last month and has more than $11 million saved.
The RNC has outraised the DNC in 11 of the last 20 months. But the DNC prevailed in six of the first seven months this year.
The RNC has now raised more than $150 million since January 2013. The DNC has now raised almost $133 million.

150 million to 133 million, huh.
Doesn’t seem like that much of a difference.
Is anyone surprised by this? The Republicans have a platform calling for suppressing wages, destroying unions, eliminating healthcare, building a police state, fighting wars everywhere and offering hatred and discrimination towards women, gays, minorities, teachers, members of the military, senior citizens and schoolchildren.
What could the Democrats possibly offer America to compete with that?
somebody’s story is inaccurate. tpm says one thing, politicususa.com says another. from what I have been reading, the gop are running low on money. one reason is that they are having to defend seats that in the past were considered safe. the mcconnell-grimes election, for example.
so they are having to choose which races to sacrifice financially. the other is gop donors are practically tapped out. the gop rely more on wealthy people to donate than working people, so they are racing to sheldon adelson to bail them out.
I could live nicely on the difference.
What really matters isn’t money it’s voters, democrat voters getting to the polls in November in LARGE numbers everywhere and voting for democrat candidates. That’s the only way to rid ourselves of the republicans…

There is not a chance that someone might be telling a fib, is there?
