Fundraising surge gave GOP power
The state party raised $6 million last year - triple its 2006 total.
(By Jim Morrill, CharlotteObserver.com) - With donors suddenly covering their bases, the N.C. Republican Party saw a surge in fundraising last year that all but erased a longtime Democratic edge and helped them capture the General Assembly for the first time since the 19th century.
The GOP tripled its fundraising since the 2006 mid-terms while the Democrats' declined, according to new reports filed this week.
"This is the first year in my memory that we've been financially competitive," said GOP chairman Tom Fetzer. "And it made a huge difference in our ability to gain back Republican majorities."
