Eye on the Money- Presidential Race 2008

By lace | May 25, 2008

The May monthly reports to the FEC are in; here are the results:

Senator John McCain

Cash on Hand at Beginning of the Reporting Period $11,579,713.65
Total Receipts This Period $18,529,357.60
Subtotal $30,109,071.25
Total Disbursements This Period $8,353,979.42
Cash on Hand at Close of the Reporting Period $21,755,091.83

Senator Hillary Clinton

Cash on Hand at Beginning of the Reporting Period $31,711,745.93
Total Receipts This Period $26,911,626.98
Subtotal $58,623,372.91
Total Disbursements This Period $28,956,919.81
Cash on Hand at Close of the Reporting Period $29,666,453.10

Senator Barack Obama

Cash on Hand at Beginning of the Reporting Period $51,073,999.99
Total Receipts This Period $31,922,904.75
Subtotal $82,996,904.74
Total Disbursements This Period $36,441,847.69
Cash on Hand at Close of the Reporting Period $46,555,057.05

Obama is spending the money. Even though he has the most and can afford to, if these spending habits keep up, McCain will surpass him financially.

Clinton spent more than she raised this quarter.

McCain is slowly building his account as he recently held a number of fundraisers at the homes of wealthy Republicans.

    Although McCain is trailing Obama by a significant margin (30+ million), there is a caveat that is hopeful.

    Combined McCain and the RNC have $62 million cash on hand. This is $11 more than the combined total of Obama and the DNC.

    Or so I read…
