Good News! Chairman Kaine deserves kudos and credit for maintaining the energy and momentum that McAuliffe and Howard Dean, after a rocky start.
People forget that when Kaine took office in January, the DNC had suffered a dropoff in fundraising, and was facing a huge shrotfall compared to the RNC. It had just $8.6 million in its campaign coffers, and held $6.9 million in debt. By comparison, the RNC had over $24 million cash-on-hand.
Look at today WOW! Thanks, DNC!!
Spend the damn money wisely, please?? Remember what we stand for: We will not settle for less than 50 STATES.
