Right now this campaign season, Democrats have $6 million more cash on hand than Republicans do for US Senate races. But they also have more vulnerable Senate seats to defend.
The Democratic Party campaign committee that supports Senate candidates raised more money than its Republican counterpart in March: $8.1 million, as opposed to the GOPs $6.3 million.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has now outraised the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) in 13 of the past 15 months, according to a report by the Associated Press. The DSCC is sitting on $22 million in its bank account while the NRSC has $16 million.
Wow, this is kind of a political man-bites-pooch story, isnt it? The Democrats have been insisting that the wealthy and conservative Koch brothers may buy control of the Senate for Republicans via their contributions to outside groups, yet it is the Democrats themselves who have the edge in a key inside party financing measure.
Will this make a difference in November?
Well, wed say dont go to an online betting site and put down money on Sen. Harry Reid (D) of Nevada remaining Senate majority leader next year.

Democrats raise more than the GOP for US Senate races: Big deal?
WASHINGTON, April 8 (UPI) -- Democrats in Washington launched an all-out push Tuesday, led by a pair of executive orders signed by President Barack Obama, in an effort to close the lingering wage gap between men and women.
Touting the effort as "National Equal Pay Day," Democrats hope that the highly visible move will help turn up enthusiasm among women and boost turnout in November's primary elections.
Flanked by women members of the Democratic Congressional Caucus, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Obama dared Republicans to "prove me wrong."
"Pay discrimination is not a myth, it's math," he said.
The orders, each hailed as mini versions of the Paycheck Fairness Act that is up for vote in the Senate this week, will prohibit federal contractors from retaliating against workers who discuss their salaries with one another and set new rules for how contractors report their employee pay based on sex and race.
Also present was Lilly Ledbetter, the namesake of the very first legislation signed by a newly minted President Obama and the victim of wage discrimination.
"All I could think about was how much my family had done without," she said, talking about her two decades at Goodyear earning much less than her male colleagues. "When the Supreme Court in 2007 ruled that Goodyear had been paying me unfairly long enough to make it legal, I know I wasn't ready to quit the fight."
The Paycheck Fairness Act, which was sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., and co-sponsored by 52 Senators, has failed twice before in the Senate and lacks any Republican co-sponsors, making it vulnerable to a filibuster.
Studies vary on the size of the wage gap, saying woman earn from 77 to 84 cents on the dollar compared to men with equivalent experience.
Democrats are hoping the bolder tack targeting women will help them this fall, through a combination of higher turnout and hoping that Republican candidates will give a repeat performance of their 2012 "legitimate rape"-type unforced errors.
