On the whole, Democratic fundraising has been pretty solid, with a big edge in total receipts and cash-on-hand (thanks to a blockbuster month from the DNC). Of particular interest are the Senate numbers;
at this point in the 2010 election cycle, the NRSC was debt-free and had $2.7 million in the bank (as opposed to their cash-minus-debt tally of $400K at the end of April), while the DSCC had $2.6 million on-hand but $4.6 million in debt. The NRCC, though, is in stronger shape than they were
two years ago, when their debt dwarfed their cash-on-hand by over a million bucks. (The benefits of wielding the Speaker's gavel, most likely.)
