The National Republican Congressional Committee raised more than $7 million for its annual dinner, being held tonight at the National Building Museum.

The dinner is traditionally one of the committee's biggest single sources of fundraising for the year. This year's event, featuring keynote speaker and Fox News host Sean Hannity, tops last year's $6 million haul.

The NRCC outraised the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the first time in several months during February, but still trails significantly in cash-on-hand -- $19.8 million to $6.1 million.

Just found this interesting and wanted to pass it on.

Also the article from The Fix is a good one to keep an eye on for the upcoming Congressional races:

Five days in May:

Five days in May -- from the 18th to the 22nd -- will tell us much about just how bad the political environment is, and will be, for House Democrats this fall.....

Below you'll find our rankings of the 20 House races most likely to switch parties in the November election. As always, the number one ranked race is considered the most vulnerable to a party turnover.

To the Line!

(Here is the one Rep. Grayson is in)

16. Florida's 8th district (D): Rep. Alan Grayson is probably too liberal for this central Florida seat and his strident public pronouncements (and love of the spotlight) don't do him any favors electorally. But, Grayson's high profile has helped him raise scads of cash -- $861,000 in the final three months of 2009 alone -- and preferred Republican nominee Bruce O'Donoghue faces a late (August 24) primary fight. (Previous ranking: 15)

1. Don't worry about the Repubs

They will be fine as soon as the Corporate money train pulls into DC
