We kicked their ass in fund raising! Media is stupid? Where is ALL THE ENERGY now?
Media keeps saying over and over how ALL the energy is on the side of the pukes for this upcoming elections...etc.

We kicked their asses all around: DNC, DSCC, & DCCC!!!

Does this mean we have all the energy?

2. This is where the real story is
And has been for each election cycle since 2006. Before then, Republicans routinely enjoyed a 4-1 advantage in fundraising, which meant they didn't really have to budget or manage their campaign funds. They could just outspend their Democratic opponents, buy up all the media air time, and coast to enough victories to maintain their majorities. But since 2006, Republicans have had only about a 2-1 lead in raising money, and that means choosing which races to fund, and budgeting carefully. These are not strong points for the GOP. And if the Democrats actually outraise the Republicans? They're going to be in big trouble, even if the popular media don't tell anyone.

4. The Democrats have more cash than the republicans at every level -
we must spend it wisely, and get our people out to vote in November. I am hoping we will have a great surprise for the media and the GOP and win even more seats despite the doom and gloom predictions on every side.

5. I am becoming increasingly optimistic about November:
Health Care: check
FinReg Reform: Check
Climate Bill(Apr 24th): check
Employment much better: check (I am predicting positive jobs growth every month until November, were positive last month too).
Tens of thousands less troops in Iraq: check

If the President and the Dems dare to bring immigration reform up before then, it will be all over for the Pukes!
