What would Porthos say about this?
Last week I wrote about Democratic presidential hopefuls sitting on massive piles of campaign cash even as they encourage the rest of us to contribute to candidates around the nation. Today Salon's blog picks up two more stories that drive home the point.
First, an analysis from Barron's that predicts the Republicans retaining control of both houses. Why? More money to spend in the final weeks of the campaign, which the author credits with a better than 90% success rate as a predictor.
Second, MyDD posted a story that finds other 'safe' Democrats with plenty of money to go around:
By Bowers' count, Democrats in 70 safe districts are sitting on more than $50 million in campaign contributions. If each were to give 30 percent of his or her holdings to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee or to individual candidates, the Democrats would enjoy a $15 million boost in the final two weeks of the campaign.
