Take a look at where we’re at in the money game per race. We’re at a dreadful disadvantage...

Were at a disadvantage. Just like the Pubbies were at a disadvantage in polling.

The RNC is crushing the DNC in fundraising. (The RNC recently raised $17 million in 2-3 days.) However, the reverse is true for the NRSC vs. its Dem counterpart. But Palin's got 30 fundraisers scheduled before the election. McCain raised $5 million in one night. And now that the GOP is looking competitive nationwide, you can safely expect the positive GOP trends to continue.

But remember, we’re not running a generic (or parliamentary) battle for Congress. These are individual races with individual candidates. That’s what I took into consideration along with polling data for many of them. Obviously it can still change in the next 2 months, but we really failed spectacularly in this cycle with recruitment. Very poor leadership from the Republican Congressional leaders.

Yahoo! IMO, this is much more important than the presidential race. After all, I think only Reagan could accomplish conservative goals with a Dem majority in Congress. With a Dem majority now, McCain will only try to out-liberal them and pass their agenda. A GOP majority is needed to keep him in check.
