Obama’s Small Contributions Surged in June, but McCain's Party-Based Strategy Gave the GOP Side a Combined Cash Advantage on June 30

[...] The combined June 30 cash on hand surplus for the Republican party and its presumptive nominee came to $95.5 million, compared to $62.0 million for the Democrats. In addition, McCain related joint fundraising committees had $9.7 million cash on hand destined to be split between McCain’s accounts, the RNC, and various state party committees. Obama related joint fundraising committees had $15.8 million cash on hand to be split between Obama’s campaign and the DNC. Obama’s new joint fundraising committee with state parties was formed after June 30th.
