Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are privately bristling over Howard Dean’s management of the Democratic National Committee and have made those sentiments clear after new fundraising numbers showed he has spent nearly all the committee’s cash and has little left to support their efforts to gain seats this cycle, ROLL CALL reports.

Congressional leaders were furious last week when they learned the DNC has just $5.5 million in the bank, compared to the Republican National Committee’s $34 million.

Senate and House Minority Leaders Harry Reid (Nev.) and Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), along with the Senate and House campaign committee chairmen Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), have made their concerns -- directly or indirectly -- known to Dean, claims the paper.

Emanuel was particularly upset last week upon seeing the latest DNC numbers.

Was the cash spent or siphoned?

If I were the Dems, I'd demand an outside accounting.

Gosh, do you think he decided to give it to the under-priviledged and destitute?

I knew Dean being head of the DNC would eventually pay big dividends.

I have always said that Dean was the best thing to happen to the GOP in the last 2 years.

Go Howie, Go!

Sounds like they have been running their party like a union, and just like a union, I would venture to bet a lot of that money went to the coffers of a few at the top or to pay off 'talking heads'.

The DNC needs an internal corruption investigation.

Not surprising that someone who has no idea what money is worth would be out of money.
