The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee outraised its GOP counterpart nearly 2-to-1 last month, marking the second month in a row it has brought in significantly more cash than the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
According to figures provided by the committees, the DSCC raised $4.3 million in February and had $5.1 million in cash on hand at the end of the month. The NRSC raised $2.2 million and had $3.1 million in the bank on Feb. 28.
The NRSC, which paid down $500,000 last month, now has $9.5 million in debt from the 2012 cycle. The DSCC declined to release its debt figure, but it had $15.7 million in debt at the end of January.
Along with the release of its monthly fundraising, the NRSC, which got a late start on hiring staff, announced its finance team Wednesday for the 2014 cycle. Shelley Carson, the NRSC’s previously announced finance director, will be joined at the committee by Rachel Kelley as PAC director and four deputy finance directors, including Brittney Goday, Fifi Knott, Cara Mason and Magan Munson.
For next month’s fundraising report, the DSCC received a boost from a $500,000 campaign attacking House Republicans — and possible Senate candidates — for supporting Rep. Paul D. Ryan’s budget blueprint. The NRSC ran a fundraising campaign earlier this month off Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., 13-hour filibuster.
The Senate should not be choosing its own members. They SHOULD support whomever the republicans choose to be their nominee. Since they have chosen to support worthless candidates, it's influence in elections has waned. And this is a good thing. I'll give money to DeMint's group and groups like it, who support CONSERVATIVE candidates, not completely worthless people and moderate backstabbers like Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the slew of republican who lost across the board last November.
The GOP won’t get one red cent from me until they make guys like McLame and Light in the Loafers Lindsey STFU!
These communists will probably win the 2014 and on to the 2016. They have our Country in a communists iron fist and the sheep want their freebies along with the billions the fed is buying the bond market.
Some of us tried to tell some posters that the Republican voters selected Romney. We did not support the majority of our Republican voters. Why, because Romney was not perfect but he was the selected Republican after Newt was trashed. So all hail out supreme leader King Obama.
A presidential election is different. The memberts of the senate (nor the house) should not be choosing who they would like to work with. The people should choose their own nominees and an organization such as the NRSC should then support the nominee. The republicans of Alaska for example chose Joe Miller to be their nominee but the NRSC supported Murkowski’s independent run instead of the republican nominee. And then they’re very selective in which republican nominees they support. They’ll pour money in to try to get John McCain or Scott Brown elected, but leave Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell to twist in the wind. Or they delay funding such candidates till it’s too late. Yet they loved supporting all the establishment losers last year.
And...the NRA out raised them both I believe.
