But things have begun to turn around for Priebus on the fundraising front.
After raising just $37.3 million in the first half of 2011, the RNC raised nearly $51 million in the second half -- actually outraising the Democratic National Committee over that same period of time. (However, the DNC outraised the RNC for all of 2011, about $110 million to $88 million.)
What's more, the RNC has cut its debt in half -- from more than $20 million in January to $11.8 million now.
