Why Hill Dems are Ahead in Fundraising

At Politico, Alex Isenstadt and David Catanese identify several reasons why DCCC and DSCC are ahead of the GOP counterparts in fundraising:

• House Republicans are trying to cut spending, which alienates many contributors;
• Hill Democrats in general, and Pelosi in particular, are good at raising money;
• Members of the GOP class of 2010 are not donating their own funds;
• Super PACs are vacuuming up a lot of Republican money;
• Democrats control the White House and the Senate, enabling them to raise lots of access money.
