Cash on Hand


That is an amazing little story. When you subtract the Dems debts they have basically the same cash on hand as do Republicans- that is very impressive that the NH GOP has caught up.

Full Numbers Unknown


Without knowing the balance in the state accounts the full numbers are unknown. These numbers are for the Federal account of each party and do not include the state account totals. By law each party has to have two accounts for differing donations and expenditures.

If the NH GOP is equal to the NHDP when both are added together it would indeed be interesting but still from what I read the NH GOP has two or three staff members working out of an office in the back of a brick house and if I remember right the Dems have three or more offices with about thirty workers nevermind all the big projects the Dems are doing.
