From CNN Political Producer Rebecca Sinderbrand

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Democratic National Committee pulled in roughly $8.35 million last month, outpacing the $5.7 million raised by its Republican counterpart.

More than $8.2 million of the cash haul came from contributors.

The DNC also has more than $12 million cash on hand — roughly $9.5 million less than the GOP has in the bank, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission Friday.

So far this year, the national party has raised nearly $29 million. It still carries roughly $5.6 million in debt.

The Republican National Committee reported Friday that the party ended the month of May with no debt.

1. Repiggies Get Most of their Airtime for FREE. That Really Helps Their Bottom Line

2. Nothing New. Business Interests donate to party in charge. This

is what they every time. Business looks out for their own interests.

Is this why we are having problems getting good legislation passed.
