Smilin' Norm: Do as I say
From Ben Craw at the TPM Cafe:
“Worry: Sen. Maj. Leader Bill Frist asks GOP activists for ‘urgent:’ donations, writing that ‘[w]nfortunately, we are still short of the financial resources needed to have the maximum impact in every one of the battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, Montana, Missouri, and even Virginia.’ On the list of Republican senators with no '06 race and bulging campaign accounts: Sen. Norm Coleman, who has asked the NRSC to send more $$ to MN to help Mark Kennedy. He's given the NRSC only $15K and has more than 1.8 million in the bank. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison has written a $115K check; she has a cool $9.5 million in her account. Sen. Richard Lugar, who is literally running television ads in IN featuring himself, has given $150K and had as of 9/30 about $2.9 million on hand. Sen. Richard Shelby has $11.6 million and was generous enough to fork over $15K.”
In Coleman's defense, he will need every penny he can raise to defeat Al Franken in 2008. But he doesn't have a lot of standing to ask the NRSC to do anything after only giving them $15,000.
