Romney transferring millions of dollars to Congressional Republicans

[Mr.Phips]

While Obama is transferring nothing to Congressional Democrats.

This is just disgusting.  Does Obama even care about the Democratic party?  If Democrats lose the Senate while Obama wins reelection it will truly be historic. 

Does Obama not realize what President Christie will likely do in 2016 with 60+ Senate seats in a large House majority?  Social Security and Medicare will almost surely be gone.

The DNC is not the ONC(Obama National Committee). 

Pelosi and Reid should have told Obama early this year that if he wouldnt transfer money to them, they would run a strong left leaning third party candidate against him and split the Dem vote.

The reason is that the Republican presidential campaign is drowning in cash but nonetheless a lost cause.

Are Republicans headed to what Democrats enjoyed for much of the 20th century - a semi-permanent majority in Congress?

If the Republican Presidential campaign is such a lost cause, why is Obama saving all of his money?  Any electoral vote over 270 will be wasted money for Obama.  Getting over 380 electoral votes rather than 272 gets Obama absolutely nothing.  Republicans are not going to work with him no matter how many electoral votes he gets.  This money could be used to keep the Senate and take back the House.

I suppose the people in charge believe that taking back the House in 2012 is also a lost cause.
The people in charge don't tend to think big or out of the box, of course.

If that happens, Democrats will only have Obama to blame.  Obama basically ripped down the 50 state strategy that helped Democrats be successful in 2006 and 2008 and replaced the DNC with hacks who only cared about Obama.

It's quite simple and smart. At a certain point, money saturates the market. After you've seen 20 ads about a candidate, the 21st doesn't really change your mind.

So giving that money to congressional Republicans, especially those hurting for cash, is just a more efficient allocation of resourecs.

This is pretty old news, IIRC.

You mean like they were in 1994, or 2002, or 2004?  No way.
