Good News (If You’re A Republican)
Bob Novak has his latest hodgepodge of gossip up, and it contains this welcome tidbit:
Just as Democrats had envisioned the promised land with enhanced prospects for gaining control of the House in the 2006 elections, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) fund-raising hit a bump in the road.
The DCCC, which did well in September by raising $5.4 million, fell off the cliff in October by bringing in just $1.6 million. Republicans continue to outdo the Democrats consistently in House fund-raising.
A footnote: The Senate Democratic campaign committee continues to lead its Republican counterpart. But even the most optimistic Democrats concede it is highly unlikely they can pick up the necessary six Senate seats to retake control.
Kos and his ilk have been making more noise than just a little about the DCCC’s fundraising…it will be interesting to see what comment, if any, follows this latest month’s figures.
2006 continues to worry me mightily, so any good news, however small, is a morale booster….
