I looked up fundraising numbers for February and it turns out that Democrats have about 3-times the amount of money left to spend than Republicans. Here is a breakdown:

(All numbers are cash on hand figures for End-February)

Apparently, there is another fund for Obama that I never knew about, but which Politico mentions in their article:

Swing State Victory Fund

This one has about 2.5 million cash on hand left.

This is news? Gingrich's campaign was in debt for almost the entirety of 2011; I wasn't aware that they were even able to eliminate all the pre-Iowa debt at all. This is what happens, I suppose, when your entire "campaign team" is just a handful of press liaison types.
