He can’t just make them go away. The creditors have to get their money. And the law has a lot to say about who pays that money.

Like I mentioned previously, I might be a little paranoid, but I probably just lacking in knowledge over political fundraising and related topics. Any suggested public literature on the topic?

and, you know, go ahead and send out a donation in order to close that gap.

But you seem to be the “worry wort” type rather than the “do something about it” type. ~~NTTAWWT~~

A ‘huge’ advantage is 22 million to 1.4, or 21 million to 7, or 47 million to 25. Which is why the Democrats are in a better position to raise money *this* cycle – only they’re doing proportionately worse than they were doing *last* cycle.

and if you include debt, their advantage is only 3.86 Million, which is not bad given that the NRCC is usually the weakest GOP link and the DCCC is the best.

We have the edge in the Senate (1.3 million), as the DSCC still has to pay down it’s debt. As “Barnacle Brain jack” points out, that is actually incredibly good compared to last year, especially since the Democrats have to defend a wider field than we do.

What’s really surprising to me is that the DNC is actually competing with the RNC. Usually it’s an RNC blowout (though Obama dumping cash into it probably helped alot)

Sounds like status quo to me.

The Dems still have a huge advantage with COH for House and Senate.

I thought we’d start to see that dwindle this month I hope it does next month

we are talking about the party of tax cheats here. I guess that I’m uncomfortable with the thought of carrying debt from cycle to cycle. There’s probably intricacy that I’m missing…
