He's also our family lawyer. I was talking to him a few weeks ago while handling some personal matters in his office. He said that he expects the RNC to be outspent by the Dims by about 4 to 1. He also said that the Republicans expect to win anyway. He had his best grin on when he said it. Tim Morgan, the RNC Treasurer, is a great guy. He’s also our family lawyer.

The strange thing is, much of the media keeps on saying that the Repubs aren't getting the contributions that are pouring in for Obama--even after the Wright story exploded, again. Could it be the the press is lying to us, again? Maybe it's the 'repeat until people believe it' policy in action. "Do we mean this in a moral, intellectual, spiritual, or financial sense?" I would say all of the above. This doesn't mean that the Republicrats are doin' any better in any of those areas. Being the two cheeks of the political rump, these asses are merely the seat of all evils. “Running on empty.”…How about fumes.

Bush isn't running for re-election. Much of the willingness of the small donors to open their wallets, checkbooks and debt cards has been because of their pathological hatred of Bush. It's going to be hard to get them up to the same level of passion for John McCain, though the demonization efforts will be out in full force to convince them that a McCain election means Bush, Cheney and Rove will be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom (this of course, doesn't apply to someone like Soros, who's been throwing money at the candidates not out of any emotional reason but because he wants to have direct pipelines to the highest levels of the American government. George S is spending money in hopes of making a lot more starting in 2009).

Has Gore’s global campaign impoverished the starving masses of people further?

Is the DNC the party of doom and gloom?

Hopefully there are a few conservative billionaires who can match Soros' 527 money. We'd get killed on fundraising this cycle anyway, but I'm hoping one day the R's will quit wasting all their frickin money on direct mail. I never give any way but online, and yet I get deluged with stupid letters that go straight in the trash. One guy I gave 25 bucks to in 2006 has probably sent me 30 dollars worth of mail by now.
