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 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.

“A lot of people are scratching their heads as to what’s going on,” said one senior Democratic aide.

Another Democratic source familiar with the party fundraising apparatus said there is “obvious displeasure” among the leaders.

I just knew today was going to be like Christmas all over again. First the failed filibuster, now this.

60 seats in the Senate would be *sweet*!

We need to keep shoving Dean and Sheehan under the noses of moderate democrats like house breaking a puppy, and make them identify with them or Go out side. Either way we neutralize them and de motivating them from giving money or voting.

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

Don't forget Terry. He did some great things for the GOP too.

I do believe many tried to tell these socialists that Dean was a psycho. I assume that psycho's are not good at money management.

So, who's surprised by these comments?

I remember during the 2004 elections the media ran so many stories about how the internet Deaniacs were going to change the face of elections as we know it. Then it was quietly realized Bush had more online hits and contributions than Dean and any other candidate.

Thats too juicy. As bad as the GOP has been in the past, they are blessed that their political opponents are democrats.

Anyone know who the treasurer of the DNC is at the moment? The info isn't easy to find on their website.
