The party of the rich

"Obama has raised a staggering $295-plus million. The AFL-CIO has committed $53.4 million for the Democratic nominee, up $6 million from 2004.

Other unions will chip in.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employee has pledged $50 million.

There are other third-party groups. While the GOP may be seen as the party of Big Money, recent presidential contests have shown that – taking unions, George Soros's wealth, and organizations like MoveOn.Org into consideration – Democrats have a large financial advantage.

In 2004, when each side's spending by candidates, national committees and third-party groups was totaled up, Democrats outspent Republicans in the presidential race by $119.4 million."

In 2004 the only republican running was Bush, the democrats had quite a few. If this total includes the democratic primaries and caucuses, of course it would be much higher.

"Democrats were the biggest spenders, shelling out $250 million US since March. Bush and the Republicans spent $240 million US.

The breakdown is also reflected in spending by outside groups. Liberal organizations spent $70 million US on advertising, while conservative groups forked over about $40 million US."
