It’s Time to Give Money to the DNC

On the eve of what looks to be another indecisive primary, I think it’s time we started giving money to a group that will use it to attack McCain rather than fellow Democrats: the DNC. They have been outraised more than 2-1 by the RNC this year:

According to the latest Federal Election Commission reports filed through the end of March, the RNC had $31 million in cash on hand while the DNC had only $5.3 million. The RNC has raised $36.5 million this year while the DNC has raised $17.7 million. [cbs]

It’s sad, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been raising record amounts of cash, and yet the DNC has seen little advantage from all the enthusiasm. The problem with giving money to either candidate right now is that they will use it to bring the other one down. The DNC, on the other hand, spends it’s money on McCain attack ads and helping congressional Democrats get elected. So rather than spend your cash on our Democratic civil war, how about spending on attacking our mutual enemy? I think all Democrats can agree on attacking McCain so let’s get started already! The DNC needs money, and they will spend it far more constructively (at this point) than either Clinton or Obama. It’s time to pull this country to the left again. So please, start giving to the DNC. And when one of them wins the primary, you can give to the candidate again.
