And yes, this person is well-connected within the party, especially amongst Dems With Cash. As in LOTS of cash.

This person told me that a lot of friends, who have given the party and candidates scads of dough are now calling them up and saying "Not One More Dime!", after last Thursday's debacle in Congress.

So no, we are not the only ones who are so pissed-off that we are crosseyed.

It's gonna be a tough summer, back in their districts, for an awful lot of Senators and Congresscritters. I suggest they invest heavily in Nomex. They are gonna be confronting shear rage, nothing less.

This person also told me that an awful lot of The Dems With Cash are holding their breath for Al Gore. He's their man. No one else is even close. They also want campaign finance reform with teeth. Like yesterday.

FWIW.
