Democrats take a fundraising lead
2006-10-29
The Democrats' congressional campaign committees raised $15.5 million during the first 18 days of October, setting up their final push to reclaim both chambers. Republicans, meanwhile, raised $10.1 million for their candidates, continuing a pace that has lagged this election.

Republicans slightly beat the Democrats' House committee but stumbled on the Senate side, where a $5.5 million fundraising disparity emerged. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised $9.1 million; the National Republican Senatorial Committee raised $3.6 million. The Senate fundraising disparity does not reflect individual campaign fundraising, which Republicans said gave them a $14 million advantage during the last complete reporting period.

#6  The full-court press was on for congresscritters to spread some of their own wealth around.

#5  This is what those phony polls can do for a failing party. The real bad news is that most of this money comes from Wall Street types who want a mixed Congress so nothing gets done for 2 years.
The union money was already in the dems pockets, only the slimy rich could make that kind of difference. Thanks, greedy shitheads.

In other words, the Republicans have the real / overall lead; the Dem party committes outscored their Repub counterparts 3-2 in the 8th inning.

This is what passes for 'news' nowadays? Nope, noooo bias here...
