The Democratic Party's campaign arms outperformed their Republican counterparts in January.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Party's House campaign arm, announced on Friday it had raised $6 million in January. The National Republican Congressional Committee, meanwhile, raised $4.8 million in January, an official told ABC News.

The $6 million haul was the DCCC's largest ever in January, according to a spokesman.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee took in $5 million in January, the organization announced, while the National Republican Senatorial Committee took in $4.19 million.

1. How about the superpac's?

No article like this can be anything like propaganda without accounting for the superpacs

2. Well...

That's not such an easy thing to gauge...

I suspect the majority of SuperPac action will be focused on the presidential race.

3. I think there is enough money floating around

to drown all the races in cash.

4. Not necessarily.

First, you should see what's pouring into WI for Walker & other R recall targets. Second, I think the R's have largely given up on the WH & will be focusing the Cits United $$ on Congressional & state races. I think we're going to see unprecedented expenditures on the races at state & local levels.

5. Not an unreasonable analysis...

It will be interesting to see the final numbers for this election cycle.
