Boo!

Sen. Liddy Dole (R-NC) is worried, even panicked, by the Democrats:

In a fundraising appeal this week, Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., asks for immediate financial help "to prevent the most left-wing Democrat Party in history from seizing control of the United States Senate" in the November elections.

... In the fundraising letter, Dole rails against liberal Democrats in the Senate and warns that if they prevail, "our worst fears" will be realized. She argues that empowered Democrats would "increase your taxes, call for endless investigations, congressional censure and maybe even impeachment of President Bush, put the war on terrorism on the back-burner" and "Take over the White House in 2008!"

I thought the Democrats were listless, spineless, convictionless flip-floppers left behind by the Glorious March of Market-Force History. Instead, we find Democrats are hairy, ugly, immoral bomb-throwing radicals. Whatever. But here is Liddy's real problem, and why she's so worried:

Senate Democrats have maintained a 2-to-1 advantage over Dole's campaign committee in money raised for the midterm contests. Senate Democrats have $32.1 million cash on hand and the National Republican Senatorial Committee has $16.5 million, according to the most recent filings.
