'Bush’s drop adds to the shortfall the GOP faces this November, and it shows a major shift from a year ago.

President Bush has raised $146 million for Republican Party committees and candidates this election — $40 million less than he raised last cycle and $4 million less than Barack Obama raised last month.

Bush’s drop contributes significantly to the financial shortfall the Republicans face heading into November, and it represents a major shift from just a year ago.'

3. Smart money doesn't back the Republicans anymore?

Makes you wonder what they thought they were buying when they gave all that money to Bush and Co.

5. There is no doubt the rats got a LOT of money

I sure hope Rupert Murdoch likes what he bought.
