Dems eye retiring senators' $20M

By: Jonathan Martin
April 12, 2010 04:13 AM EDT

Democratic Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana, Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Chris Dodd of Connecticut are all retiring and don’t need the combined $20 million in their war chests this fall. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, on the other hand, has just over $14 million in the bank at the moment and is playing defense in races across the country. So it could sure use the cash. Now, as worries grow among top Democratic officials about just how ugly this November could be, the pressure is increasing on this trio of Senate veterans to do right by their party and bequeath their remaining money to help keep the majority. Of the three, the most intense focus is on Bayh, who stockpiled nearly $13 million before shocking the political world, not to mention many of his Democratic colleagues, by announcing in February that he would retire instead of seeking a third term.

No doubt the DCCC will apply considerable pressure in order to get that money. Unfortunately for the Dems, money can't turn the momentum around. Voters are angry and feel betrayed. That's becoming a common theme for the progressive Dems, who have disregarded the will of party members and of the public, and have pushed their agenda at all costs.
