Found this as an interesting breakdown, with graphs. Since this is from January 2008 and is relatively older, I'd like a more detailed description of "who owns who." Please feel free to add.Barack Obama (D)
Senator from Illinois In January, Obama pulled ahead of opponent Hillary Clinton in the money race, raising nearly twice her $18.9 million for the month. The two remain in a tight competition for the most raised since the start of 2007 and are nearly tied in the number of delegates they've won from the primary contests. Obama collected more than $1 million a day in January -- largely thanks to small online donors -- bringing his total haul to $138.2 million. Although official February reports won't be available until the end of March, Obama's campaign is already reporting that the presidential hopeful is keeping his record-breaking fundraising pace.
Total Receipts: $138,231,595
Total Spent: $113,291,435
Cash on Hand: $24,940,159
Debts: $1,104,693
Date of last report: January 31, 2008

Senator from New York Although Clinton emerged from last year as the top fundraiser of either party, she fell behind opponent Barack Obama in the first month of 2008. Obama raised nearly twice her $18.9 million for the month and Clinton was forced to loan her campaign $5 million to keep up with Obama's advertising in early primary states. Clinton's campaign is reporting that the New York senator raised at least $1 million a day in the first half of February. These numbers will be available at the end of March.
Total Receipts: $134,536,488
Total Spent: $105,350,147
Cash on Hand: $29,186,341
Debts: $7,576,700

Senator from Arizona McCain's campaign has done a 180-degree turn in the last year, going from nearly broke after the 1st Quarter to recently emerging as the Republican frontrunner. It took early layoffs and a $3 million loan in November of 2007, but McCain managed to turn his campaign around and raise $41.1 million last year and $12.6 million in January of 2008. Now, to avoid spending limits, McCain is asking the Federal Election Commission to immediately withdraw him from the presidential public financing system, though he has pledged to take public money for the general election.

Total Spent: $48,518,664
