GOP Contributions Still Top Democrats
The GOP maintains a two to one edge in contributions over the Democrats amid Watergate scrutiny. GAO filings show the Republican National Committee netted 1.4 million from March 1 to May 3 3, while the Democratic National Committee took in 632 580. Republicans report 269 482 cash on May 31 to Democrats 261 533, but Democrats owe 78 000 short term and 4 million long term versus Republicans with 78 581 back bills. RN treasurer Odell cites early quarter surge from direct mail but says large gifts 1 000 plus are down 25 to 50 percent. RN Associates shows 122 663 since March 1, largely in late May from Nixon era donors, far short of the 1 million 1973 goal. Officials attribute the shortfall to Watergate, disclosure laws, and Nixon campaign leftovers.
