GOP Tops Dems in February Fundraising
The numbers are surprisingly poor results for the party now in control of the White House and both houses of Congress

Republicans topped Democrats in national fundraising in February, according to numbers released Friday that show surprisingly poor results for the party now in control of the White House and both houses of Congress.
The Democratic National Committee raised only $3.26 million in February, the first month under its new chairman, former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, according to the February campaign finance reports. Two years ago, under Chairman Howard Dean, the committee raised $5.5 million in February.
The Republican National Committee, on the other hand, pulled in $5.1 million last month, giving a boost to new Chairman Michael Steele after a rocky first few weeks of his tenure.
The DNC reported $8.6 million on hand and $7 million in debt, while the RNC reported $24 million in the bank and no debt.
A Democratic operative with knowledge of the party's fundraising capabilities told FOX News that the national committee expected a slow January and February for several reasons, including a list of donors that already had been asked to help cover the cost of the presidential inauguration in January.
Interesting that it dropped off this quickly.
