Dems are losing big donors, but they still collect much more money from big donors than Republicans do

Why do Dems get much more money from big donors than Republicans? My guess is because big donors like government regulation and the favors that it can offer.

Democrats continue to collect more from big donors than Republicans do, with their trio of national committees almost tripling the amount taken in by the GOP committees in first half of the year, according to the FEC. But Republicans are benefiting from much more energized small-dollar contributors.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has been pitching itself to conservative donors as the only check against Obama's agenda, has stayed roughly even with the DSCC in overall receipts, and its cash flow is 30 percent ahead of its 2007 level. . . .
