How the hell did the DSCC get outraised?
These numbers just aren't good enough for a party with an overwhelming majority in both chambers.  
maybe a lot of people aren't donating until
Senate Democrats get off their asses and pass healthcare reform.  That's what I'm doing.  There's no way in hell I'll be financing the re-election of Reid, Lincoln, Bennett etc. until they get it done.

This is merely a snapshot
I'd be very surprised if the DSCC raised more money than the RSCC every month of the year.  We should all look at the big picture instead of only one month of the year.

grand totals
So on the D side, that's a grand total of cash minus debt of something like $19.9 million.  On the R side, $27.5 million.  

Not terribly far off.  But how long do we have to wait before the D side actually has a net cash advantage?

Don't like these numbers much.  DNC did very good, that I like, but the Congressional fundraising is very soft.  No reason for it to be that low and that close to Republicans considering our large majorities.

I took the opposite view
Some sort of wave is building according to some. Even Charlie Cook. Yet there is no sign of it in these numbers. Dems started blowing the GOP out pretty early in the 2006 cycle if I recall correctly.

wave
What kills me about this 'wave' talk is that it seems calculated to make vulnerable Dems scared, and if scared, less likely to vote for big things, i.e. health care reform.

But I suspect that health care reform going down in flames is far more likely to cause an actual Republican 'wave' than is a successful bill (and that the possibility of health care going down in flames is part of why we're now hearing all this 'wave' talk).  Vulnerable Dems in Congress should be trying to head off the 'wave' by passing some big accomplishments, not by pulling back.  

The principle here is simple: it's much easier to demonize a law that didn't pass (and pretend it would have done outlandish stuff) than it is to demonize one that did pass and is currently the law.

Totally agree
And many progressives are falling right into the trap.
[ Parent ]
It's absolutely true
that the biggest danger is in not passing a good bill.  
[ Parent ]
Why is the DNC...
increasing its debt?  What is it spending the money on?
Also, why is the DNC carrying debt
at all since it could be paid off and save the interest costs. (Possibly the loans have pre-payment penalties?)
