DNC to pour money into midterms while RNC Chairman Steele's downward spiral affects GOP message

Politico is reporting that the DNC and President Obama are preparing to pour in large sums of cash to buy the November midterms. This is a good sign that the Dems are scared of the potential loss of seats this November, and that they are fully aware that the new Health Care Law provided them little to no bounce. If anything it is becoming more of an albatross as the days pass.

The Democratic National Committee will contribute more than $50 million in cash and services for November’s midterm elections, a top Democratic official tells POLITICO.

The payments — for House, Senate and governor’s races — will start in June. Aides are negotiating the split between cash and services.

The report also indicates that the Republican National Committee will be far behind in spending due to the lack of leadership from Chairman Michael Steele.

GOP campaign committees are preparing to get less cash from the Republican National Committee than in the past, in part because big donors are frustrated with the leadership of Chairman Michael Steele.

Steele's most recent decision to speak at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference has only added fuel to what is now a very big fire.
