No message, no money, no future

“There are two things you need for success in politics. Money... and I can't think of the other.” - Senator Mark Hannah (R-OH), 1903

Robert Novak: “Democratic National Committee (DNC) fund raising under the chairmanship of Howard Dean shows a disappointing $16.7 million raised in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $34 million reported by the Republicans. That tends to confirm dire predictions by old-line Democratic fund-raisers of a fall-off in money if Dean became chairman.” (Hat tip: Ankle-biting Pundits)
