Spending like a screaming Dean – Right Side Redux posts the FEC filings for the major political parties. The GOP raised more money and now holds massive 6-to-1 advantage on cash reserves over the Democrats. Howard Dean’s DNC spent $1.5 million more than it raised since December; at this burn rate, the Democrats will be bankrupt by June.

Dean doesn't have to raise any money.

The next election will be fought not with the parties funds but with the 527s money.

The rightside blogs will be shut down by either the FEC or lawyers seeking injunctions against their commentary. Most Blogs wil not have the financial resources to fight injunctions.

the Dems are already bankrupt... oh wait.. you meant financially, not morally, ethically, and ideologically

I agree with what davod says.. the DNC will be financed vicariously through 527s until campaign finance 'reform' is reformed.. and that should be a major issue for the next GOP candidate.. particularly if, through some act of God, Feingold is a top DNC contender

Back when Dean was the Democratic front-runner, in late 2003, didn't he amass something like an $11 million war chest, then blast it all to hell with nothing to show for it? I was pulling for him to do the same thing when he became DNC Chairman, and.... he did!
