House Democrats campaign arm slightly outraised its Republican counterpart last month, pulling in $10.3 million, compared with Republicans $9.9 million.

The two committees have been nearly neck-and-neck in recent months, with Republicans lagging slightly behind. For the first three months of the year, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $23.6 millionabout $2 million more than the National Republican Campaign Committee.

Democrats have a more substantial advantage in terms of spending money. The DCCC had $40.2 million in the bank as of March 31, while the NRCC had $31.2 million. Neither committee has any debt.

These numbers come as House Democratscontinue to lead the money chasein the most-contested 2014 House elections, a Wall Street Journal review of fundraising reports of the top candidates in 54 House contests found. Democratic candidates in those races outraised Republicans by about $1 million in the first three months of the year. But a look at fundraising reports at the end of 2013 shows the fundraising gap between the two parties is beginning to narrow: At the end of 2013, Democrats in the same competitive House races had outraised Republicans by more than $10 million.

Despite Democrats consistent fundraising advantage, the party has weak prospects for retaking the House in November. Democrats would need a net gain of 17 seats to claim a House majorityan unlikely prospect.

Senate Democrats campaign arm announced last week thatit had also outraisedits Republican counterpart, by a margin of $1.8 million.

He stopped just short of saying it was race-related, leaving that for the African-American audience at the recent National Action Network convention to decide.

Attorney General Eric Holder (right) recently expressed outrage at the treatment President Obama and he have received from conservatives. He stopped just short of saying it was race-related, leaving that for the African-American audience at the recent National Action Network convention to decide.

Few mixtures in American life are more emotionally combustible than the one formed by the combination of politics and race.

That helps explain why Democrats, in general, and President Obama, in particular, have tended to steer clear of overtly raising race as an issue to explain some of the opposition to Obama's presidency and agenda.

There seems to be a shift in recent days, however.

Top Democratic party officials have either directly or indirectly blamed race for some of the hostility to Obama, his policies, or both.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader from California, and New York Rep. Steve Israel, who heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, both cited racism, pure and simple, among some Republicans as explanations for the House GOP's resistance to legislation that would comprehensively overhaul the nation's immigration laws.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder took a slightly subtler approach. Speaking to the National Action Network, the largely African-American civil rights group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton, Holder suggested some Republicans had a racial animus toward the president and himself.

"The last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms even in the face, even in the face of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity," Holder said.

"If you don't believe that, you look at the way forget about me, forget about me you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee. It had nothing to do with me, forget about that. What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?"
