House and Senate Democratic committees once again outraised their GOP rivals in November, further boosting their fundraising edge in advance of the 2008 election. New filings with the FEC show Democrats expanded their already-historic lead just eleven months after the party took over Congress.

In the House, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $4.1 million last month, ending the month with $30.7 million on had. That's more than ten times above the National Republican Congressional Committee's $2.3 million on hand. The NRCC maintained about $3.3 million in debt, though Republicans reported recently that transfers from candidate committees had provided the party enough cash to wipe out that debt. The DCCC retained about $1.66 million in debt through November.

Those funds do not include the hundreds of thousands of dollars each party spent on special elections earlier this month in Ohio and Virginia. Combined, Republicans dropped more than $500,000 on the two races, while Democrats spent close to $250,000, mostly in Ohio. Republicans handily won both specials to replace their incumbents, who had passed away.

On the Senate side, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised $4.15 million last month, leaving them with $25.4 million in the bank and just $2 million in debt. Senate Republicans pulled in just shy of $2.4 million in the month, leaving them $10.4 million to spend. The NRSC is debt-free.
