[First, a cheap plug for my blog
Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.]
Starting off with the big one, DSCC vs. NRSC:
DSCC 2007 FEC Filing
Total Raised 4rd Q: $13.3 million
Total Raised in December: $6.1 million
Total Raised in 2007: $55.4 million
Cash on Hand: $29.4 million
Debt: $1.5 millionNRSC 2007 FEC Filing
Total Raised 4rd Q: $8.4 million
Total Raised in December: $3.1 million
Total Raised in 2007: $31.8 million
Cash on Hand: $12.1 million
As of the end of 2007, the DSCC’s cash-on-hand-minus-debt compared to the NRSC’s is $27.9 million to $12.1 million. Massive!
NM-Sen:
Tom Udall (D): $1 million Q4, $1.7 million on hand
Steve Pearce (R): $425,000 Q4, $820,000 on hand
Heather Wilson (R): $515 Q4, $1.1 million on hand
Udall raised more in Q4 than Pearce and Wilson combined!
ID-Sen:
Larry LaRocco (D): $166,000 Q4, $200,000 on hand
Jim Risch (R): $236,000 Q4, $171,000 on hand
Even in Idaho, the Democrat has more on hand than the Republican!
CO-Sen:
Mark Udall (D): $1.1 million Q4, $3.6 million on hand
Bob Schaffer (R): $673,000 Q4, $1.5 million on hand
The Republican raised only 60% of the Democrat in Q4 and has less than half the cash on hand of the Democrat.
AR-Sen:
Mark Pryor (D): $616,000 Q4, $3.6 million on hand
The GOP can’t find an opponent for Pryor.
KS-Sen:
Greg Orman (D): $450,000 in December alone (recently entered race)
NH-Sen:
Jeanne Shaheen (D): $1.2 million Q4, $1.15 million on hand
John Sununu (R): $922,000 Q4, $3.42 million on hand
Another race where the Democratic challenger outraised the Republican incumbent.
VA-Sen:
Mark Warner (D): $2.7 million Q4, $2.9 million on hand
I’m guessing that Republican Jim Gilmore will report significantly less.
MI-Sen:
Carl Levin (D): $840,000 Q4, almost $5 million on hand
Levin should face only token GOP opposition.
IA-Sen:
Tom Harkin (D): $802,000 Q4, $3.4 million on hand
ME-Sen:
Tom Allen (D): $813,000 Q4, $2.5 million on hand
Susan Collins (R): $965,000 Q4, $3.9 million on hand

That’s what I think at least.
Right after I post this, Hotline comes out with the complete list.
And, yowza!, Democratic business Greg Orman in Kansas outraised Republican incumbent Pat Roberts in individual contributions $451,000 to $352,000. (And, remember, Orman got in late and his numbers are all from only December.)
