DNC coffers dry amid flood of Dem cash

Liberals understand full well the necessity of advancing an agenda incrementally.

NO KIDDING. That's exactly HOW the Iowa Dems took control of the Iowa House during the last election cycle, by running Pro Life Democrats.

We are going to need all the volunteers we can get if we have any hope of reclaiming the House in November. I'm going to help. Are you?

We're too stupid to actually look at candidates' records and statements and draw our own conclusions - we must trust the insiders in the party.
And you people wonder why those RNC mailers come back unanswered. Damn elitists. I guess we should be grateful you've come on down from the mountain to mingle with us mere voters.

I didn't say anything of the kind, and I will not let you put word in my mouth.

In your initial post you implied you knew EXACTLY how the RNC made their decision on who to fund and who not to fund. I asked for additional details.

I have NEVER been at the table when the RNC made funding decision, and I certainly didn't imply that I have. My knowledge is how state money is distributed. A far cry from the RNC.

Get that chip off your shoulder, Buddy, and go volunteer to help a candidate you can support. The Democrats are counting on continuing the gains they made during the Tidal Wave in the last election. It's up to us to prove them wrong.

I try to convice those I talk to that a pro-life Democrat is useless unless they are in the minority. Then they would have some value but otherwise it would be impossible to advance any kind of pro-life agenda with Democrats in the majority. They would never allow any pro-life legislation to ever make it out of a committee. It would be DOA.

RINOs drive me crazy but right now I would be very happy to have three more RINOs in the Iowa House. This disaster would never have happened if we had 3 more RINOs.

BINGO

So many people just do not grasp the concept that when you vote in November you should be voting for WHICH PARTY you want to determine what bills come to the floor for debate.

You and I both know that with the Republicans in control the Iowa General Assembly would not have considered bills to force workers to unionize, or to give the Governor a humongous salary increase.

Or legalized embryonic stem cell research, or to take away the private property rights of restaurant and bar owners by telling them their patrons cannot smoke there but yet, they exempt casinos or put a $1.00 per pack cig tax, or fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of $700,000. This list can go on and on. I am shocked at the destruction these RATS inflicted on this state in a little over on year.

What about a 17% increase in spending in a little over a year? Yup, there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats--everyone knows that.

...DNC official explained, the eventual Democratic nominee could burn through much of his or her primary election cash before the convention and donors might be less responsive to pleas for more money once the nomination battle is settled — leaving the campaign cash-strapped for a prolonged period before the convention, after which the separate general election funds can be tapped.

opensecrets.org says Hitlery has 8,128 contributors who have given the max $4,600 (2,300 for the primary election and 2,300 for the general election.) That's $18,694,400 that can't be spent until she gets the nomination. Yet she has $31,712,197 on hand and $15,321,562 in debt. Something doesn't add up.

“I don’t know if the Obama campaign will have so much money by the time that he wins, if he wins,” the DNC official said. “Meantime, voter file, opposition research, voter outreach — we should be doing all the things that the Republicans are doing.”

The sluggish fundraising might also inhibit so-called “hybrid advertising,” which numbered in the tens of millions in 2004. Hybrid advertising is based on a loophole in FEC regulations, discovered and first exploited by the Bush campaign four years ago, in which the party and campaign can split advertising budgets.
