Campaign war chests near $200 million

(CNN) -- Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama and the major political parties supporting their presidential bids have amassed campaign war chests totaling almost $200 million, according to campaign finance documents filed this week with the Federal Election Commission.

McCain and the Republicans held a combined cash advantage over Obama and the Democrats, with $105.2 million in the bank as of June 30, compared with $92.1 million.

These figures take into account the available cash totals for the McCain and Obama campaigns, the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee, as well a number of "joint fundraising committees" established by the campaigns in conjunction with the national parties and, in some cases, with various state parties.

When comparing just the two presidential campaigns, Obama maintains a sizable fundraising and cash lead over McCain.

In the month of June, the Obama campaign raised $50.5 million in contributions, compared with $16.4 million for the McCain campaign.

The Illinois senator ended the month with a hefty $71.7 million in the bank, of which roughly $12 million is set aside for the general election and may not be spent before next month's Democratic National Convention.

McCain reported a cash total of $26.8 million at the end of June, all of which is available to spend before the Republican National Convention in September.

Although his campaign committee trails Obama's in both fundraising and available cash, McCain is greatly aided by the financial strength of the Republican party's fundraising apparatus. The RNC by itself reported a war chest of $68.7 million, compared with $4.5 million for the DNC.

In addition, McCain and the RNC have created six joint fundraising committees that reported a total of $9.7 million in cash available to spend on behalf of the Arizona senator's candidacy.

On the Democratic side, Obama and the DNC have two joint fundraising committees, with a total of $15.9 million in the bank. A third committee was created this month and did not file a June campaign finance report.

McCain, who has said he would accept public funding for the general election, is also slated to receive approximately $84.1 million in early September to finance his general election campaign.

Obama, who has broken campaign fundraising records, says he will opt out of the public funding program and will finance his general election campaign using private contributions.
