No Dough for the Repubs

With about 50 less repubs in the House since 2005 and 15 less repubs in the senate, the repubs are losing the money race


"House Republicans raised less money in the first three months than in each of the first quarters of the previous three election cycles, according to the data. Republicans raised $17.8 million in the first quarter of this year, down 14% from the same period in 2007 and 31% from the 2005 quarter. There are about 50 fewer Republicans in the House this year than in 2005."


As for the dems:

"Contributions to Democrats for the first three months rose slightly relative to 2007; there are about 20 more House Democrats than two years ago."

This would make sense because more dems in both houses need money. So I hope the dems are winning the money race. If not, then we have serious problems. But, we don't.
