A State Party Spinal Tap

Six months from E-day, The Hotline examined FEC reports for all 100 state parties. They're the spine of GOTV efforts.

Our full report is here.

-- The data shows that state Republicans have been generally more successful at both fundraising and banking fed. cash. It shows that many Dem parties remain comparatively anemic, but not everywhere.

-- The GOP has a net CoH advantage of more than $10.2M collectively in the states. Combine that hard money number with the RNC, NRSC and NRCC figures and the GOP has banked about $30M more than Dems.

-- In 32 states, the GOP has a CoH advantage. The FL margin is more than $5M (and nearly $9M when the state's non-federal accounts are factored in.) State GOPers in PA have a $1.2M edge; followed by a $1M edge in SD, a $950K edge in MI and a $748K edge in GA. The strongest Dem states compared to their GOP counterparts are VA, IL, AZ, OR and WA.

-- The Weakest Links? Six state Dem parties have less than $10K on hand. In order: WV, HI, SD, NH, WY, SC and DE. And 3 GOP state parties have less than $10K on hand: NH, with only $460, CT and WV. [MARC AMBINDER]
