GOP Not Dead Yet?
The Democratic presidential candidates are raking in the money.
The Democratic National Committee? Hmmm...not so much. That could have interesting developments down the road in terms of limiting some of the damage in House and Senate races (the Democrats have an edge in fundraising in their respective congressional and senate campaign committees). Indeed, the NRCC is in the middle of major scandal out of its fundraising shop.
However, the RNC numbers are something of a bright light in an otherwise dismal political picture.
But, some people say, what about the fact that conservatives are demoralized and may not turn out?
Well, trust liberals to come through and fire up part of the social conservative base -- the homeschoolers, for example. (Thanks to ERA for the tip.)
