The big numbers for the Democratic committees continued through the end of 2007, the latest campaign filings sent to the Federal Elections Commission yesterday show:
| Committee | December Receipts | December Disbursements | December Cash-on-Hand | December Debts & Obligations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSCC | $6,096,669 | $2,159,687 | $29,403,292 | $1,500,000 |
| NRSC | $3,124,976 | $1,483,619 | $12,076,129 | $0 |
| DCCC | $6,755,924.86 | $2,335,258.44 | $35,095,377.89 | $1,359,823.12 |
| NRCC | $6,146,920.91 | $2,994,080.41 | $5,478,254.75 | $2,850,000 |
| DNC | $4,301,743.62 | $4,124,668.97 | $2,783,730.34 | $2,230,480.23 |
| RNC | $8,733,125.10 | $7,045,562.74 | $17,352,467.11 | $0 |
| Total Democrats | $17,154,337.48 | $8,619,614.41 | $67,282,400.23 | $5,090,303.35 |
| Total Republicans | $18,005,022.01 | $11,523,262.15 | $34,906,850.86 | $2,850,000 |
Overall, the Democratic committees are maintaining a staggering $32.4 million cash-on-hand advantage, or about a 92.7 percent edge over the rival Republican committees. Even when debts and obligations are taken into account, the Democrats still lead by over $30.1 million, or an even higher 94 percent.
Of course it's not all bad news for the Republicans. As has been the case for some time, the Democratic National Committee continues to significantly trail the Republican National Committee, both in terms of fundraising and cash-on-hand. What's more, the National Republican Congressional Committee finally broke into the black in December after having lagged in the red for the first 11 months of the year, with a net $2.6 million in the bank after debts. On the other hand, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee does have better than a $31 million advantage over its GOP counterpart when debts and obligations are taken into account, or about 13 times as much money as the NRCC.
One more point: This is the third straight month in which the National Republican Senatorial Committee came in last in terms of fundraising among all the party committees. So much for Republican efforts to get anywhere near financial parity on the Senate side.
And just an addendum... The Democratic presidential candidates continue to crush their Republican rivals in terms of fundraising, too.
