Calling all non-presidential hopefuls! Donate now!

There'll be plenty of recriminations flying around if the Democrats don't make some noticeable gains in the election. So why not start right bellyaching right now?

Although people are taking very seriously the possibility that we could regain control of one or both houses of Congress, you could argue that there are people who aren't really doing their part to make it happen. Namely, 2008 presidential hopefuls and their campaign funds.

Evan Bayh and John Kerry are right around the $10 million mark (give or take a couple hundred grand, but that's chump change).

Hillary Clinton has a cool $16 million on hand according to Atrios.

All of them are encouraging people to donate to Democrats. Frequently.
