STOP BY A BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD (It's in the Breaking News sidebar!)

Senate Democrats are all but conceding it'll be impossible for them to retake control given the way their recruitment for 2004 is going. Part of this private concession is due to Sen. Jon Corzine's failure as head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to find any suitable candidates to challenge Sen. Kit Bond in Missouri and conservative stalwart Sen. Sam Brownback in Kansas.
Bond was considered a potential target for Democrats given their successes in recent years in Missouri. But Bond's formidable fundraising ability and longtime service to his state has scared off just about every potential Democratic challenger.
Brownback, meanwhile, has established himself as a rising conservative star with national fundraising ability. "He's one of the few Republicans nowadays willing to talk about social issues and who appeals to the cultural conservative base the Bush people have been ignoring," says a Republican pollster. Brownback is expected to face little challenge in the upcoming race.
Damning with faint praise? But the good news is that Dems aren't hoping to take back the Senate.
Can you imagine having Jon Corzine come and try to recruit you to serve in public office next to him?
Not only Corzine, but with such stalwart citizens and notable defenders of the republic as Teddy "The Ladykiller" Kennedy, Chris "Sandwich Man" Dodd, Little Tommy Daschle, Queen Hillary!, Babs Boxer, DiFi The Delirious, Patty "Low Two Digit I.Q." Murray, Jumpin' Jim Jeffords and Ernest "Phoghorn" Hollings.
Yeccchh! I need a bath...
My , but don't they get wordy.
