GOP Beating Dems In Early Fund Raising For 2008


(The first campaign finance reports for the 2007-2008 election cycle) filed to the Federal Election Commission by Tuesday’s deadline and analyzed by CQPolitics.com senior reporter Greg Giroux, showed that the Republican National Committee (RNC) raised $10.5 million in January, compared to $5.7 million for the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

The RNC reported $8 million in remaining cash reserves and no debts; the DNC had $6.5 million in cash and $4 million in debts.

Both parties received the vast bulk of their contributions from individuals in increments of less than $200 — donations that do not need to be itemized on the campaign reports. Of the $10.4 million the RNC raised last month from individuals, $2.6 million was itemized and $7.8 million was unitemized. Of the $5.2 million the DNC raised last month from individuals, $1.5 million was itemized and $3.7 million was unitemized.
