Democrats Retain Edge in Campaign Spending

In this article, the Democratic, Republican, and third-parties have been struggling for control over the House. This fight has basically come down to who has the best way of raising funds for their "competitive races". For instance, the Republican Party has reported spending $79 million in the last few months. I feel this isn't the correct way to determine who will control our House of Representatives and Senate. I believe that it should be determined through cases and sessions together. I don't understand why everything in this world has to be based around money. But, I'm not a government-official, so my reaction should be different than someone who knows the in's and out's of politics. However, it does make sense to who really has the true control because according to their power, they would be capable of raising more funds.

The House has been holding "competitive races", where the parties spend and save in order to basically determine who runs the House. In these races, The Democratic Party has conserved and raised more money to spend than the Republican Party. This makes sense to me because I feel that according to the Presidents party, that party seems to control the House. Like when President Bush was in office, the Republicans controlled the House and Senate until 2007.

Who Controls the House?
