Look at this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/16/AR2006101601120.html

The GOP had a cash advantage (as the incumbent party often does), but that didn't stop Democrats in 2006.

It didn't stop them in the Senate, but the Dems left a lot of House seats on the table that they then picked up later or the Republicans shored up. If Democrats had unlimited money to spend, they would have picked up a few seats in California that were on nobody's radar in 2008.

It does seem like Senate spending has reached the point of maximum returns for both parties.

Incumbents are always better at raising money.
