To your point, we need to look at candidate numbers by race, not just overall party numbers.

For instance, Crist-Rubio. Any donations to Rubio are, of course, *not* donated to the GOP – but are still donated to a Repub candidate. (just one that, because of the gutless DC wing of the GOP, has to battle Crist-the-idiot in a primary)

The democrats will pass health care. Get that? Understand? We are being principled right over the edge of the cliff. If we don’t take back one of the houses in 2010 cap and trade and card check will be next.

Purity is nice in a soap but in politics it is called giving my children and grandchildren a wasteland and calling that a “moral victory”.

Perhaps it’s time to visit your eye doctor?

Here’s the thing, Neil. The GOP used to be able to get money out of people, either with their tactless “survey” bulk mailings or through other “please help the party help the candidates” messages.

This is no longer true. Malkin has been running this as an intermittent feature – see this: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/11/04/making-sure-the-message-sticks-more-rejected-rnc-forms/

The point is, giving *has* shifted away from the gutless DC wing of the GOP to the individual candidates.

Yes, the Dems have candidates too, but they don’t have the current dynamic of a party top-heavy with morons who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

The point is, the numbers Moe put up are purely at the party level, but they’re not nearly the whole story – as Moe himself says. So, if you really think that the GOP plus candidate account balances are lower than the Dems, prove it. The candidates should be filing their forms soon, the information is out there.
