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.

Great news! I kinda like Dean.

Was the cash spent or
siphoned?
If I were the Dems, I'd demand an outside accounting.

Schadenfreude at its very best!!!
To: slowhand520
Gosh, do you think he decided to give it to the under-priviledged and destitute?
To: mewzilla
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!

Further implosion by the dems
To: slowhand520
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.

Dean is the gift that keeps on giving.
