From your link the totals are:
Direct:
Total D - $426,500
Total R - $408,500

PAC:
Total D - $150,000
Total R - $206,500

Gross:
R - $615,000
D - $576,500

The R's got more in the Senate, but the D's got more in the House. With PAC's the R's got more.
51% to 49% - a statistical tie.
However, the totals from your link aren't even close to the total contribution from the original link in the article I posted which was well over $3,100,000. Where did the other $2,000,000 go?
