Democratic Presidential candidate-in-waiting John F. Kerry likes to style himself as a foe of "powerful special interests in Washington." But with his campaign fighting off an intense media barrage from President Bush's megabuck reelection effort, Kerry has apparently decided that populism stops at the river's edge -- in this case, the Potomac.

Because he's boring.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Oh, that makes sense
He's not only boring, he's fatally boring -- almost like listenting to a corpse talking. Hitlery will take him out like a strike from a Moray eel.

neocommunist political movement, a tipsy-topsy, infantile perversion of the Marxist-Leninist model, global in scope, beginning in the post-cold-war, unipolar 1990s, led by the '60s neoliberal baby-boomer "intelligentsia," that seeks power without responsibility, i.e., that seeks to dilute American power by concentrating power in said '60s neoliberals while yielding America's sovereignty to the United Nations, i.e., while surrendering to the terrorists, as it continues the traditional '60s neoliberal feint, namely: (1) concern for social justice, (2) distain for bureaucracy, and (3) the championing of entrepreneurship for the great unwashed.

Nothing smells. Nationally, the Democrats have seen their voter registrations go from 60+% of the country down to 36% or so, while Republican voter registrations have now cruised up over 35%. So the over-abundance of Democratic Party donations has really ceased.
Moreover, socialists are by and large freeloaders, save for their idealists and activists. They aren't accustomed to making donations; that's someone else's job.
Furthermore, Democrats have more open Senate seats to defend this year...stretching their resources rather thin for their other races.
And then there is the quid pro quo crowd. Since Democrats no longer hold most state governorships or legislatures, the power lobbyists are now having to finally send money to Republicans to maintain any influence.
There's something else in play, too. The Democrats really tapped into their big donors in 2000 and 2002 only to come up on the losing end anyway. Those big donors haven't appreciated getting burned. Ron Kirk, the Texas Senate candidate who lost big time in 2002, for instance, was told up until the last few days of the election that he would win if he just spent a little more money (read: millions). In Florida, the teachers' union went so far as to mortgage their headquarters building for a couple of million in order to pay for 30 seconds worth of tv ads in various locales in order to "defeat Jeb." Now they are stuck with a 30 year mortgage debt AND they still lost their election.
Those aren't happy donors.
It also hurts the Democrats that they haven't had a single new policy idea in decades. Talking about Roe v Wade year after year for thirty plus years straight is going to wear a bit thin, and it certainly isn't going to bring about a big time inspiration for their cause.
Yeah, apparently he hurt himself in the Senate flip flopping on a vote!
My guess: money follows a winner: BUSH/CHENEY.
Are you thinking the Clinton's and McAuliffe are controlling the money flow?
Can anyone say Giant Sucking Sound. What it means is that the Dems won't have any money for other races in the Senate, Congress and elsewhere. They are betting the farm on Kerry.
