Financial woes are dimming the GOP's bright prospects of making major gains in the House next year and some GOP strategists are blaming an unlikely source: Republican incumbents.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, the financial arm for GOP House campaigns, has raised less than a third as much money as its Democratic counterpart and ended 2009 with barely enough money to fully finance a single House race, Politico reported Sunday.

Despite evidence of solid opportunities in at least 40 districts this year, Republican incumbents have donated well below expectations, GOP strategists told Politico.

Let’s see, how much money was forwarded into the NY race for Scozzafaava so we could lose that one?

There will be several incumbents and a few GOP "sure things" that will be in for quite a surprise. And I do hope and believe that the "Tan Man" will be one of those.

Steele really made a fool out of himself when he attacked the Congressional Budget Office - he should get his facts straight and attack something worthwhile like:

I started doing that myself over 10 years ago. RNC supports too many RINOS.

I agree - but I don’t think it’s about cocktail parties - it’s about being bought and controlled by Globalist interests .. eg .. McCain’s and Lindsey Graham’s receiving money from Soros funded foundations.

He's so bad, I think he's a DNC plant.

They have called me for several years now begging for the type of support that I used to give them... they know why I no longer give and they have done nothing to rectify their liberalism that is causing their financial demise... and I now give directly to Conservative candidates... hey steele... WE ALL MEAN WHAT WE SAY!

This is when my husband went into orbit - I don’t trust any of them.

Really McCain and Graham got money from Soros? Where did you see that? I’m not surprised!
