The GOP has a better fundraising machine but it's a bit laggy this year. Frankly, the Obama money machine has always been ground-breaking, probably due to the excitement his campaign raises within a segment (10-30%) of the population.
Money tends to flow towards the expected winner. Buying influence for a future next president > buying influence with a future continued senator.
I'm not sure when the last time was that the Democrat had less money than the Republican in a presidential race, anyone care to clue me in? Fact is, Democrats are usually at a cash disadvantage and there's not a competitive seat in the country (that I'm aware of) that the Democrats don't have a cash advantage at right now. Maybe NH? If you count likely GOP seats like KY and GA, then yeah.
