The top story on Memeorandum right now is this one from The Washington Post: A revolt among big donors on Wall Street is hurting fundraising for the Democrats’ two congressional campaign committees, with contributions from the world’s financial capital down 65 percent from two years ago. The drop in support comes from many of the […]
Chris Cillizza just tweeted the following: Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee buying time in Massachusetts Senate special election….developing…more soon on Fix… It spells trouble for Democrats to have to keep dumping money into a race that should be solid Democrats. Even more troubling is that they are having to do it during a special election, when […]

I added a new Get […]
