Democrats Out Raising Republicans in Money? Thank Howard Dean here!

[David Zephyr]

Howard Dean in just one year has taken the Democratic Party from an impoverished crowd afraid of their very own shadow to a marching, charging brigade of ass-kickers who just may take back the Senate and the House.

Bravery is almost in the air again.

Is the Phoenix rising? I think so.

If anyone can lead our team, it's Howard Dean.

If you like Howard, weigh in with a word of gratitude for our great Chair.

3. Are we out raising them?

[Innocent Smith]

12. No

The RNC raised more than the DNC.

The NRCC raised more than the DCCC.

The NRSC raised more than the DSCC.

13. Do you have a link for

all these statements?

[Innocent Smith]

19. I see you've already seen the links below

I'd rather be bringing in more money per month like the Repubs instead of having a little more in the bank.

But rather than be bringing in more money - I'd rather be ahead in the polls like the Dems are now over the Repubs.

Of course - best would be both :)

4. Give Them Hell, Howard!

Once the Democrats are on the road to power, please take your place at the head as Commander-in-Chief!

5. BUT BUT BUT the MSM told me he was FAILING in his

fund raising :rofl:

[blm]

17. Corporate media dumps on EVERY Dem - it's our job to correct the lie.

Good job, Chairman Dean.

[LizW]

6. Thank you, Howard Dean!

[blue neen]

7. Glad to oblige.

Doctor Dean, we're thankful for your leadership.

[Der Blaue Engel]

8. Oh, out-raising! Yikes, you threw me there

I thought you meant Democrats were going out and raising money for Repubs.

:silly:

[unkachuck]

9. great job Doc....

....keep up the good work....

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. Do You Have A Reference Link?

I didn't know we were outraising them. If that's true that's awesome!

on edit: I found one. We started off the year with a 2-1 margin for the Senate and it looks like we are keeping up, though month to month the repubs seem to be taking in more. Looks like we're definitely behind on the congressional end of things. Hopefully we keep gearing up the efforts and the campaign funds keep rolling in. We need to regain control in 06, period!

11. Here is a breakdown together from other sources.

The DSCC beat the RSCC...that is the part that the OP referred to.

The part I like the best is that for the 2nd month in a row, the DNC under Dean outraised the DSCC and DCCC. Their "combined" total is just a wee tad more than the DNC.

Comment from Fire Dog Lake
"UPDATE II: Matt Stoller reports that fundraising for the DCCC and the DSCC is a bit down. Want to know why? The activist base right now is supporting 1) individual candidates, 2) Feingold’s Progressive Patriots and 3) the DNC, in pretty much that order. Want some of our money, Rahm and Chuck? Fight for progressive principles. The base will reward you."

And from a post by Brian at HEP blog:

"little information on the "inadequate" fundraising Howie's done at the
DNC...

In February, the DNC raised $6.21 million vs. the RNC's $10.88 million,
knocking the RNC's advantage down to about 7 to 4. Even better, the DNC
actually banked more money than the RNC ($2,025,000 to $1,987,000).

The DCCC and DSCC did combine to raise a bit more than the DNC in February-
$3,102,000 and $3,791,000, respectively, for a total of $6,893,000.

Also, dumpy old DFA (raising $201,305 in February) raised more money than
the PACs for John McCain, Russ Feingold, John Kerry, Chuck Hagel, and
Hillary Clinton." (that surprised me)

DCCC , DSCC Money Problems
by Matt Stoller, Tue Mar 21, 2006 at 04:56:56 PM EST

From the Hotline:


Cmte Raised Spent CoH
RNC $10.8 $8.9 $40.8
DNC $6.2 $4.1 $8.9
NRCC $5.4 $4.3 $20.8
DCCC $3.1 $2.5 $16.3
NRSC** $5.5 $2.5 $14.5
DSCC $3.8 $1.8 $27.4

Combined GOP Cmte Cash-on-Hand: $76.1M
Combined Dem Cmte Cash-on-Hand: $52.6M

The DCCC and the DSCC aren't raising as much money as the NRCC and NRSC.
This is probably because the large dollar donors angry at Dean who flooded
to the committees have hit tapped out McCain-Feingold limits, and the
smaller donors aren't interested in supporting leaders like Rahm Emanuel who
are fighting tooth and nail against a coherent Iraq strategy"

Here is the Dem lead part:

GOP Trails Democrats in Senate Fundraising

The RSCC trails the DSCC in fundraising...that is Schumer.

14. Thanks for the links, mad!

I would really think this is time for the Dems who care about their country to start shelling out and not to the orgs that recommend.."DO NOT ROCK THE BOAT!" like that former republican shill, marshall wittman, who is now a dlc shill.

snip~

"More bull makes blowhard look dumb as a moose
I promised myself that I would try not to pay anymore attention to Marshall Wittman - you know the former Christian Coalition leader and GOP operative now claiming to be a Democrat who is so in love with himself he actually writes his blog in the third person. The guy has really proven himself to be one of the most hackish, amateurish bloviators of our day. But a few people emailed me his comments from his so-called "Bull Moose Blog," and I must say, wow - the guy has really set a new standard for shooting one's mouth of while being totally uninformed."

15. Thanks, Howard!

16. Thanks, David and Thanks

to Howard Dean, Chairman of The Democratic Party! One of my goals is to meet that man one day and thank him personally! :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

18. If you're referring to latest breaking news article- It's Not just the DNC

or Dean outraising GOP. It's also the Democratic Senatorial committee.

Not that Dean isn't doing well fundraising as DNC chair.

Edit- I see some DU'ers have already done their best to trash the Senatorial
fundraising efforts. :puke:

Why no thread congratulating Schumer for outraising the GOP?

[madfloridian]

20. I posted above that Schumer outraised the Republicans.

I clarified a lot of it.

So I did try.
