The Democratic candidates for Presidents outraised Republicans by about 47%.
The Democratic committees (DCCC, DSCC, and DNC) outraised their Republican counterparts by 4%. (With the DNC dragging the other two down.)
And now from the Register, we find that state Democrats are doing even better.
Incumbent House Democrats altogether drummed up $1.1 million, based on reports on file Wednesday, while House Republicans raised $721,000.
In the Senate, incumbent Democrats collected $448,000 in reports on file while Republicans pulled in $371,000.For the statewide parties, new reports show the Iowa Democratic Party has $669,000 in cash on hand in its state account, and the Republican Party of Iowa has $49,000.
Because Iowa has basically no campaign finance laws, all of this money is essentially interchangeable. That means that, overall, Democrats are outraising Republicans in state money $2.22 million to $1.14 million, giving us just short of double their resources.

did the state GOP
ever release the amount they raised from the Ames straw poll? It must have been a lot less than they were counting on, given the number of candidates who blew off the event.
