NRSC Raises $4.6M

The NRSC raised slightly over $4.6M in Feb., according to FEC reports to be filed today.

The committee has $12.86M cash on hand, up from $10.6M in the bank at the end of Jan. That means the party spent about $2.4M over the previous month.

Update: The DSCC raised $4M in Feb. and spent $2.7M, finishing the month with $14.3M in the bank. The DSCC has $417K in debt, half the amount it had at the end of last month.

Other GOP committees, including the NRCC and the RNC, have fallen behind their Dem counterparts in the fundraising department, giving some GOPers reason to worry. But NRSC chair John Cornyn's team raised more than the $3.9M the NRSC raised in Feb. '08, keeping close to their Dem rivals.

FEC reports for the campaign committees are due tomorrow. Stay tuned to Hotline OnCall as the rest of the numbers roll in.
