We'll introduce this week's TBF poll with some thoughts from The Other McCain:
"Money isn’t everything, but it’s essential to running any political campaign...
"These candidates can’t depend on the Washington-based Republican establishment to bail them out. RNC reportedly has only $5 million cash on hand. The NRCC has $17 million, compared to $33 million for the DCCC. If conservatives online don’t start paying attention, Nov. 2 may be another one of those 'agony of defeat' moments — a long night of tearful Republican concession speeches that brings smiles to the faces of Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann."
Congratulations Renee Elmers!
