I literally spent the entire day writing. I have a brief due by the 30th on a subject about which I’m not that well versed, so I spent the entire day reading cases, writing and re-writing. This has left me somewhat drained, so I’m semi-taking the night off. I just can’t spend another couple of hours writing.
I did want to pass this along, however. Josh Marshall highlights the happy news that the Republican Congressional Committee is broke and in disarray, while its Democratic counterpart is swimming in money.
“At the end of August, the National Republican Congressional Committee reported only $1.6 million cash on hand, with $4 million in debt. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, by comparison, had banked over $22 million, with only $3 million in debt.”
It is beginning to look like even the Democrats will have trouble snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. No, wait. I’ve got it. The Republicans will run negative ads questioning the patriotism or integrity of the Democratic candidate. The Democrats will be shocked and surprised that anyone would do such a thing, it being so unprecedented and all. Unprepared, they will be unable to respond, and when they do it will be half apologetically. But who can blame them? It’s hard to plan for the unexpected.
