the Senate's 51 Democrats have given the party's key Senatorial Campaign Committee, the DSCC -- headed by Chuck Schumer (D-NY) this year -- $11.3 million, or just over $220,000 apiece on average. Some 21 members have contributed less than $100.
The DSCC's $11.3 million in receipts from all the Democratic Senators stand in contrast to the $18.6 million raised from the 51 top Democratic House donors to the Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) -- 64.6 percent more than from the same number of members of the upper chamber. The total raised from Democratic House members by the DCCC -- headed by Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) -- $38.8 million, is more than triple the amount raised by the DSCC from Senators.
New York Senator Hillary Clinton, who is not up for election until 2012 and who has $6.68 million cash on hand, gave a total of $115,000 to the DSCC. Indiana's Evan Bayh, who has $11.3 million on hand and is up in 2010, gave $15,000. Barbara Boxer who has an even $4 million in the bank in preparation for her re-election bid in 2010, donated $30,000.

Apparently the Senate Democrats would rather spend their money on themselves than get MORE Democrats elected in the Senate. I don't understand why the Senate Democrats are so stingy with their funds, it makes NO sense to me.:shrug: But they have always behaved liked this so it should be no surprise.
I just hope that Texans will vote for Noriega and rid ourselves of the Cornyn Doughboy.
