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.
Developing...
60 seats in the Senate would be *sweet*!
Didn't his campaign go bankrupt at the end -- even with tons of 'individual' internet contributions?
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.
Don't forget Terry. He did some great things for the GOP too.
With a friendly press who needs money????
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.

she could tell he was a man of distinction,

Howard Dean endorsed the terrorist-sympathizing agitators of Code Pink this weekend (hat tip: Kristinn T/FR):
So, who's surprised by these comments?

On a related note, Smash documents the counter-protest against Code Pink in San Diego.
The RAT's matra about a "Republican Culture of Corruption" is coming home to roost! Looks like they better clean up their own house first! Hey, Howie, "Physician heal thyself!"
Thats too juicy. As bad as the GOP has been in the past, they are blessed that their political opponents are democrats.
No, just pooped into my head!........
"bad year"
How about very bad next 40 years.
Anyone know who the treasurer of the DNC is at the moment? The info isn't easy to find on their website.
That's great. They're broke 9 months before the election.
LOL!
Time to thow Howie down the steps. Dingy Harry is next. These people just don't get it that mainstream American ain't buying what they are selling.
Bump for future laughs!
...."Or is fundraising just WAY down?".....

Is that her maid's vacuum cleaner full of campaign cash??
