When it comes to donations given straight to one of the two political parties, the
New York Times is reporting that it's the
RNC who has the edge over the Democrats, in very direct contrast to what's going on in the presidential race.
This stands as the latest example of America's political ambivalence about
Democrats even in a year when it's supposed to be deeply committed to them. Maybe it's just because people think
Howard Dean is incompetent and the DNC is inept, because he is and they are. But after 7 years of absolute Republican control, all three branches of government have proved disastrous - not just for this country, but for global stability in the 21st century.
Republican after Republican has been indicted, incriminated or humiliated in the past couple of years for all manor of ethical breaches, and
still, the country isn't comfortable making a clean break from the thing it knows so well.
Or maybe it's just a sign that Republicans, not knowing where to turn, are just cutting checks to the Party. We'll hope for the second thing. But come on. Just give up the ghost already.
