Dems Have 3-To-1 Outside Money Advantage Over GOP Going Into Midterm Elections… - EagleRockCafe - 04-16-2014 10:22 AM Still won’t stop Reid’s obsessive-complusive attacks on the Koch brothers. WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-pocketed donors are turning over multimillion-dollar checks to influence November’s elections, and the sums raised by the national parties and their super PAC allies are already approaching the $1 billion mark, according to financial reports still being filed Tuesday evening. An imprecise snapshot of political giving is coming into focus as outside organizations detail their fundraising and spending through March 31. The enormous sums of money do not capture what federal candidates themselves are raising and spending. In many cases, some of the most active outside groups operate under rules that allow them to keep many details of their finances secret. Democrats, at least for the moment, seem to have a roughly 3-to-1 advantage over Republicans in cash raised and banked through independent groups, according to the early filings. That balance of power could quickly change as new reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission. And those early figures lack details from some of the more influential groups that have great sway over elections but whose names never appear on ballots. For instance, National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund has until Sunday to file its reports. Through the end of February, the Republican-leaning group had raised almost $14 million. EMILY’s List hadn’t yet released its figures. It entered March having raised $22 million to help pro-abortion rights female candidates win office. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_POLITICAL_MONEY?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-04-15-16-27-10 RE: Dems Have 3-To-1 Outside Money Advantage Over GOP Going Into Midterm Elections… - Machiavelli - 04-16-2014 10:30 AM In many cases, some of the most active outside groups operate under rules that allow them to keep many details of their finances secret.
