Democrats Close Fundraising Gap With GOP
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The national Democratic Party raised $33.6 million in September, outpacing the Republican Party and setting the stage for an expensive and brawling finish to the 2006 campaign.
Overall, Republicans still held a financial advantage going into the final days of the campaign. The GOP's three national party committees reported having $77.2 million in hand. The Democratic committees reported a total of $67.3 million in the bank. But the numbers show a closing trend for Democrats who have been trailing overall Republican fundraising and were $20 million behind in cash on hand a month ago.
The committees must file detailed reports of their September financial activity with the Federal Election Commission on Friday.<snip>
