The troubled Republican National Committee has just over $5 million in the bank for the final stretch of the 2010 mid-term election campaign, according to an unannounced filing with the FEC disclosed Friday night.
The report also indicates that the national party headed by embattled chairman Michael Steele is carrying just over $2 million in debt.
There was no press release from the RNC attempting to put a positive spin on the grim numbers.
Instead, the article says, Republicans are outsourcing fundraising -- via American Crossroads and Karl Rove. In a separate article, American Crossroads reports taking in $2 million in July from various billionaires.
Hate to link to Politico, but thought this was too good to pass up. Republicans can't manage a party's finances -- have to outsource it to former Bush officials -- yet want to take back Congress and "fix" the deficit.
Here's the lol part:
The RNC's money woes have many party leaders and operatives deeply worried about whether the GOP will be able to take full advantage of an otherwise promising election cycle. Of most concern are get-out- the-vote activities that are typically funded by the national committee.
