With numbers and dollars flying, it’s difficult to determine who is truly up in the all-important money race. The GOP state committee has raised millions, the Democratic state committee less.  Democratic candidates hold a 2 to 1 advantage over Republicans, while the Republican ‘Big Three’ holds a $1.5 million advantage over the Democrats’ ‘Big Three.”

So just who’s winning the money wars?
