WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican National Committee raised $13.7 million in January, getting off to a fast start for this midterm election year.

That was the most raised in any one month since the 2004 election year, GOP officials said.

The RNC, which has been outraising the Democratic National Committee by a 2-1 margin, reported Friday that it had nearly $39 million cash on hand at the end of January.

The GOP national committee raised $101.5 million in 2005, twice the amount raised by the DNC through the year. The RNC had almost six times more in the bank than Democrats at the end of the year.

1. Corporations can't afford for the GOP to be out of office

They depend on them for their welfare. Can't have a bunch of damn liberals in charge caring about people.
