GOP Trails Democrats in Senate Fundraising

By WILL LESTER
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican committee that handles Senate campaigns picked up the pace in fundraising in February but still trails its rival Democratic committee by almost a 2-to-1 margin.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee raised $5.5 million in February, while the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised $3.8 million.

Democrats still hold a big advantage on money in the bank with $27.4 million, while Republicans have $14.5 million.

"We had a huge January and February. Where we're seeing progress is new money through small donors in the direct mail program," said Brian Nick, an NRSC spokesman.

1. I give $15.00 a month to DSSC
I think its money well spent. I'm getting alot of solicitations from outside my state wanting money but I'll limit my contributions to the DSCC and my local congressman. I sincerely believe the protection of the constitution is at stake because republicans and their supporters have no use for it.

2. And this is why Dem 527s must be shut down.
And make those Dem blogs part of campaign contributions, damn it.

And let BushCo spy on those relentless peace mongers, too!
