Republicans Start Cycle Short on Seats But Long on Cash
2007-02-23
For many years, the national Republican Party has held a substantial overall fundraising advantages over the Democratic Party — a situation that existed even in 2006, as big gains enabled the Democrats to take control of both the Senate and the House.

And the first campaign finance reports for the 2007-2008 election cycle — in which the parties will be keeping in a wide-open race to succeed President Bush while again battling for congressional majorities — suggest that the question again is not whether the GOP will have a money edge, but by how much. The reports, filed to the Federal Election Commission by Tuesday’s deadline and analyzed by CQPolitics.com senior reporter Greg Giroux, showed that the Republican National Committee (RNC) raised $10.5 million in January, compared to $5.7 million for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The RNC reported $8 million in remaining cash reserves and no debts; the DNC had $6.5 million in cash and $4 million in debts.

#1  Hording resources won't win you seats either. This is why the Trunks are so often losers. Timing is everything. When you have your opponent in the corner, never let up. When he leaves you an opening, take it to lay a powerful blow.

Since the Donks have made the war central to the discussion, now is the time to hammer them with vivid commercials extolling the successes of our valiant men and women in the front. Tell them of the thousands upon thousands of AQ killed. Show the images of new schools and health centers. And indeed label the Donks as the party of defeat with images of the clouds of ground zero in the background. See the howls of yammering Wormtongues of their body as the commercials take hold and they sink like the Titanic. The shrillness of their screams will mean you're winning and they know it.

However, the Trunks suffer from Good O'boyism, just as bad as the Donks and are more interested in padding their bottom line and resume contact list than really winning.
