Senate Dems raise more than GOP in February

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Democratic Campaign Committee raised more money than its Republican counterpart in February and has about $5 million more in the bank.

The DSCC says Thursday it raised $6.8 million last month and has about $18 million in the bank. The National Republican Senatorial Committee raised almost $5.5 million, the party reports, and has almost $12.8 million in cash on hand.

The Democrats, however, are still carrying $1.2 million in debt.

Democrats are trying to defend a narrow six-seat majority in the Senate. Thirty-five Senate seats are up this year and Democrats will be defending 21 of them. The current balance of power in the Senate is 45 Republicans, 53 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats.

AFTER the election, If you do the math and if you catch the article you'll see the Republicans ended up with more money. Plus a bunch of their money is hidden.

This way it...
1. Makes Dems think they don't have to donate more money.
2. Makes them think we're ahead so we don't maybe have to vote.
3. Makes Republicans think they need to donate more money.
4. Makes Republicans think Democrats have more money so their ads should be less believed.

These articles are a scam In order to make more ad money from the 1%.

So Democrats need to GOTV. If anyone cares about what the RWNJs have done and tried to do to the American people since the last great episode of 'Derp, why should I vote?' in 2010, they'll be out there. If not, they support the status quo created by the Teabigots and Libertarians. Those who can, will contribute and those who can't, still need to vote to make up for all the people who are being disenfranchised by the Republican organized crime syndicate. EOM.
