Jaime notes the good news that the RNC has $40.1 million in the bank, while the DNC only has $4.4 million.

Here's the bad news: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had $44.3 million in cash on hand at the end of March; the National Republican Congressional Committee had $7.2 million. As for Senate campaign committees, the Democrats had $37.8 million to the Republicans $17.3 million. Meanwhile Obama's coffers are flush with $51.1 million, compared to McCain's paltry $12.2 million.

Add it all up and the Democrats have a nearly 2 to 1 money advantage over the Republicans.
