The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee once again raised more than the National Republican Senatorial Committee in August, but the GOP group reported having more in the bank with two months until the general election.

The DSCC raised almost $1.4 million more than the NRSC, but Democrats lost their cash-on-hand advantage at the end of August. The DSCC had $22.92 million cash on hand at the end of the month, but the NRSC will report $24.5 million in the bank for the same period.

Republicans’ cash advantage is due in part to the fact that Senate Democrats spent more than twice as much as their GOP counterparts in August. The DSCC spent almost $7 million that month, while the NRSC spent only $2.6 million.

$15,000 of that is from my wife and I. I know that 1) a lot of people are still hurting financially and 2) a lot of people don't like giving to the campaign committees because of their support of candidates they don't agree with. The bottom line is that all the candidates have been picked at this point, and they're either going to win or their Republican opponents will. We have six weeks to win as much as we can to protect what's been achieved in the past two years and build a coalition for more achievements in the next two years. Everyone should be contributing their time to the campaign of their choice, but for those of us who -can- afford to chip in money, now's the time to do it.

2. I've given more than I can afford so far

and will continue until November. These teabag nutjobs and Limp-balls brainwashed Republicons are a very scary group. Give and do what you can to defeat them.
