Kay Kept Her Cash
An op-ed in The Washington Times, Senators should have shown them the money, has plenty of blame to go around to for the Republicans' loss of the majority in the congress that convenes next week. Concerning our two Texas Senators, these stats:
Funny, isn't it, how Kay kept all that money? Because she's sworn up and down she won't run for Senate again. And she's also claimed that she's not interested in a spot as a Vice Presidential candidate. So... what's she saving up for?
Update: Looking back over previous posts, I see that I have been over this ground before (and with The Washington Times, no less), in an Oct. 25 post. Well, anyway, $115,000 is the amount they reported then, so we learn that she didn't make any last-minute contributions, either. Also, based on their numbers, she must have spent about $2.2 million on her own campaign.
Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison won her 2006 election (62-36) and finished her campaign with $7.3 million in the bank. All she gave the NRSC was a $115,000 donation. Fellow Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who had $2.8 million in the bank on Sept. 30 in preparation for his likely cakewalk in 2008, gave the NRSC $50,000 in 2006.

In response to this attempt to shift blame from the Republican Party on to individual Senators, let me just say that Kay Hutchison has done more for the Republican Party than anyone i can think of. Besides just being a great role model and a hard worker, she is always traveling around here in Texas with some candidate running for some office or another. I have seen her on mail pieces for the local county party and dozens of other races that are often ignored by the party elite. Her numbers are always high and she is leading by example in my opinion. Yes our candidates and the party need to be raising more money - but we must develop some sort of messge that resonates. If i get one more piece of intelligence-insutling mail from Libby Dole i will scream. Get off Kay's back and put blame where it is due. I think Kay is smart for not throwing her well deserved contributions down the RNC rat hole. Let's stop attacking one antother and fiz our problems.
MM88 - Thanks for taking the time to comment. But just so we're clear, this is the blog for No Kay, a site dedicated exclusively to criticizing, shifting blame onto and working against Kay Bailey Hutchison in any way it can.
In other words, I won't be getting off Kay's back anytime soon.
