The wonderful folks over at The Hotline have rounded up the FEC Senate filings for the third quarter of 2008. Here are the numbers in handy chart-form.

All numbers are from July 1st through September 30th, with the exceptions of Oklahoma (7/10 – 9/30), Georgia (7/17-9/30) and Jim Slattery in Kansas (7/17-9/30). Note that the Hotline’s “Receipts” column is more expansive than the “Raised” column used in SSP’s House chart – Hotline includes “all donations, transfers, cmte money, loans/contributions made by the candidate, and interest earned on the account”; SSP only includes donations.

All numbers are in thousands.

Tonight’s the night when House candidates must file their third quarter fundraising reports with the FEC. So instead of posting the numbers in full after midnight, I think I’ll try something different this time — I’ll just post the embedded chart and you can watch as I fill it in. I’ll be here all night, folks. The tip jar is at the bar.

Legend:

Raised = Raised 3Q

Spent = Spent 3Q

CoH = Cash-on-hand at the end of 3Q

CTD = Raised for the cycle-to-date

Tonight’s the crucial third quarter fundraising deadline for House and Senate candidates across the country. If you’re thinking about donating to a candidate, now would be a good time to haul ass over to ActBlue and drop some scrilla.

Whom did you donate to this quarter?

Both the Democratic House and Senate committees have been spending furiously. The NRSC continues to rally, but they’ve basically ceded a two-month head start to the DSCC in some races.

From the about section of the ActBlue page I’ve created:

Despite the self-important screechings of the traditional media, the hurt feelings and ruffled feathers of the primary season are not insurmoutable. Hillary and Bill Clinton have worked to unite the Democratic Party with their rousing convention speeches and gracious support of Obama during the delegate voting process. Now it’s time to reward Hillary for being a team player by helping pay off her campaign debt.

And while we’re at it, lets give Barack Obama, who was equally gracious in victory, the funds he needs to expand the map, create coattails for down-ballot races, and end the conservative governing that thinks that all social issues are due to gays, Atheists, Hollywood, and working women, that the way to solve all economic ills are tax cuts for the super rich, and that war will solve all of America’s international problems.

We’ve noted with glee that Obama is advertising in states like Alaska and Georgia and opening campaign offices in states like Indiana.  And this strategy of expanding the map and out-organizing McCain will yield results in down ballot-races as well.  An Obama get out the vote operation in Georgia helps Senate candidate Jim Martin.  Organizing in Alaska helps make the words “Senator Begich” or “Representative Berkowitz” possible.  

Let this unified party money bomb:

Primary day in New Hampshire, New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin (as well as Delaware, Rhode Island, and Vermont) is on September 9th, and midnight tonight is the deadline for congressional candidates to file their fundraising reports with the FEC. We’re rounding up all the numbers as they come in in the handy chart below. All numbers are in thousands, and cover the period of July 1st through August 20th:

We’ll fill in the blanks in real time — as best we can.

Special note: look at how pathetic Robert Straniere is in NY-13. $15K raised for his campaign, total? This guy is truly hated and unloved in Staten Island. What a D-grade sadsack loser of a candidate for the GOP.
