You hit the nail on the head. Elizabeth Dole has done an abysmal job fundraising and, perhaps more importantly, recruiting top knotch candidates. The failure to find good candidates in states like North Dakota, Nebraska, and Florida leaves the Republicans vulnerable in 06.
Dole looks like a disaster, and she should be replaced with someone who can twist some arms and get some good candidates in these races.
And who will stop running false ads against republicans in primaries.
I heard similar assessments in '04 and '02.
