The Democratic National Committee has raised more than $16 million in September, its best fundraising month in a congressional election cycle that has proved to be challenging for Democrats in every way but financially. That's $6 million more than the Republican National Committee raised in September.
With Election Day four weeks away, party spokesman Brad Woodhouse said the new fundraising numbers suggest a growing enthusiasm among Democrats. That's an emerging argument from party strategists who are eager to counter polls that portray Republican voters as more energized and eager to vote in this election.

American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, two related groups created at the direction of top GOP strategists Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, have reported raising a combined $32 million this year, including more than $14 million in just a 30-day period in August and September.

TARP?
Meaningless old news. Let the Democrat dummies give to the dnc so the dnc can pay for its office staff etc. We are giving directly to our candidates.
FReegards!
I used to think that the DNC raised so much $ because of all the rich Hollywood lefties. But I was on a website a couple of weeks back that posted the various celebs’ political contributions and for a bunch of multi-millionaires they are quite stingy. I’d say the average politically active middle-class conservative probably give more $ than loudmouths like Clooney. I’ll bet the DNC is getting most of its $ from unions and evil manipulators like Soros.
I don’t see a big deal here.
Many of us have just by passed the RNC so that we may support real conservatives and insure that our money does not go to RINOs like McLmae, Grahamnesty, Snowe, Collins et al.
If the RNC were to extract their brain housing group from that region where the sun never shines, they might find themselves swimming in more money than they could imagine. Until that happens.....pfffffffffffffffffft.
I bet 98% of the money came from Soros's pocket.
Syphoning taxpayer money?
Excellent news.
Choke off the RINO controlled RNC, and regain the party for conservatives by financing individual candidates.
The RNC doesn’t deserve a dime from anyone. They see their job as keeping establishment RINOs in power, not advancing conservative principles.
RNC money given to RINOs has gone into the pockets of Crist, Collins, Snowe, Kolbe, Chaffee, Hagel, Murkowski, Castle and that ilk of democrats-lite.
Better to give your money th your favorite candidates directly rather than Michael Steele and the suits that surround him sucking up to the party elites.
Excellent news.

The word for the day is “disintermediation”. The RNC and especially the RNSC have been cut out of the loop. Engaged, energized and informed voters are doing their own due diligence and funding their chosen candidates directly. I have donated ten times as much this election cycle as I ever have in the past. All of it went to individual candidates of my choice. None of it went to support the GOP establishment so they could undermine my choices.
I am too poor to contribute to anyone’s campaign, but there are 3 factors that are limiting the RNC.
1. Leadership factor (not much confidence in judgement of those at top.) Tea Party has shocked the heads of the RNC. Many normal contributors are going directly to the candidate because the leadership hung with the RINO’s too long. Either they get behind the wave or they will get smashed when it hits.
2. Economic factors have limited what many have available to contribute and the fear of future has caused others to reduce unnessary outlays.
3. The Deep pocket Dems are scared to death, as they should be. I am still amazed how anyone who has assets could be behind this leftist train wreck. We will see on Nov. 2 how many have defected. I think the number is larger than they are willing to believe.
Bring it on, November 2 cannot come too soon.
Exactly.
Looks to me like the RINO establishment (through American Crossroads) is already hedging its bets against a conservative takeover of the GOP.
I have no problem with people giving directly to candidates but the RNC is still responsible for GOTV efforts and for monitoring and fighting election fraud, etc. They at least need to be funded for that.
The RATS shouldn’t feel too comfy about this, and neither should the GOP. The fact is many patriots are making contributions to stand-up politicians directly. Why make a contribution to the GOP when some of the money goes back to RINOS like Snowe, Collins, Lindsay etc?
I hope the RNC and Steele are beginning to get the message.
If Steele cared more about conservative principles than saving his own job, he would have been gone a long time ago.
The candidate in Delaware raised 2 million on her own.
Keep telling yourself that people really love ya more, DNC.
