DEAN UNDER FIRE FROM PARTY DEMS; NEARLY ALL CASH SPENT Mon Jan 30 2006 10:52:31 ET
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are privately bristling over Howard Deans management of the Democratic National Committee and have made those sentiments clear after new fundraising numbers showed he has spent nearly all the committees 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 Committees $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.
A lot of people are scratching their heads as to whats going on, said one senior Democratic aide.
Another Democratic source familiar with the party fundraising apparatus said there is obvious displeasure among the leaders.

Blame Dean or lack of money, but the reason the Rats are in the minority is that their ideas (e.g., 'hate Bush' 'have sex with men you don't want to marry, unless you are also a man') are not a credible basis on which to govern.

You got it. We need a Lee Atwater type to finish the Dems off.
The wealth of Republican campaign ad material that the Dems have provided to be used against themselves is astounding.

Yes, that's what it is.
And it was just the cherry on the sundae after The Scream. It's hard to remember a time when I've had MORE fun on FR than that night.

One more time, (banging pots and pans in sympathy here), let's here it for dem's "BRISTLING".
BUAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHA. Coward dean is bringing them to new levels of low. I love it. Lack of money means they can't front ads or pay all the thousands of campaign workers or buy signs etc.
LMAO.........I love this stuff. BRISTLE AWAY...LOL.

But that's misleading - they need to count the cash the AFL-CIO, NEA, ACLU, Teamsters, CWA, and the NY Times have in the bank also. That's the true picture of the DNC cash position. Not to mention in kind donations from APABCSEEBSNBCMSNBCUSATODAYCNNLATIMESBOSTONGLOBESEATTLE TIMESPI.............
