January Fundraising: Campaigns and Super PACs, Side by Side

And the winner of January's presidential campaign fundraising contest is … President Obama, whose campaign took in $11.83 million last month.

The pro-Newt-Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future took a close second. With a combined $10 million given on Jan. 24 by billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife, the group raised more than any other GOP presidential super PAC or campaign in the month of January.

Without the Adelsons' donations, Winning Our Future would have lagged far behind its competitors: The Adelsons' contributions accounted for all but $1.03 million of the group's January haul.

The January finance totals, filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday's deadline, provide a snapshot of where the campaigns were three weeks ago, just after Mitt Romney's victory in the Florida primary and before Rick Santorum's wins in Colorado and Minnesota shifted the momentum of the race.

Now that we've moved into the election year, campaigns and super PACs will file every month - meaning we'll get to see their activities three times as frequently as we have so far, with quarterly disclosure deadlines in 2011.

Below are all the basic numbers disclosed Monday. The totals only cover fundraising and spending from Jan. 1 to Jan. 31.
