Democrats dwarf GOP in Campaign Funding

Written by Benaiah on October 16th, 2007

This is a down year for the GOP but it looks bleak in terms of money raised.

Democrats

  • Clinton - $34.6 million cash on hand (additional $15.9 million on hand for general election)
  • Obama - $31.9 million cash on hand (additional $4.2 million on hand for general election)
  • Edwards - $10 million cash on hand (additional $2.4 million on hand for general election)
  • GOP

  • Giuliani - $11.6 million cash on hand (additional $5 million on hand for general election)
  • Romney - $9.2 cash on hand (includes personal loan of $8.5 million)
  • Thompson - $7.1 million cash on hand
  • Of the top 3 GOP candidates Thompson did not start fundraising until June and spent less money than he raised. Giuliani and Romney were in the red for the quarter. Giuliani raised $11.5 million but spent $13.1 million. Romney raised $9.8 million and spent $21 million. Ron Paul continues to show he is the Howard Dean of this election cycle with $5.4 cash on hand and $5.2 million raised in the 3rd quarter.
