Renzi, Hastert, Lewis see sharp drops in 2nd-quarter fundraising
By Aaron Blake
July 17, 2007

Reps. Rick Renzi (Ariz.), Dennis Hastert (Ill.) and Jerry Lewis (Calif.) severely curtailed their fundraising in the first half of 2007, as retirement rumors loomed for them and other members of the dethroned Republican Party.

The rumors have run rampant since the GOP was removed from power for the first time in 12 years. The numbers show many Republicans are, at the very least, having a harder time raising money and, in some cases, thus far haven’t focused on doing so.

The fundraising decline is across-the-board for potential retirees and others recently removed from powerful positions.

Also among those with sharp reductions in fundraising thus far are Reps. Don Young (Alaska), Roscoe Bartlett (Md.), David Dreier (Calif.) and Tom Tancredo (Colo.). The former three are expected to run again.

1. I still can't believe Hastert won re-electon after covering for that child molester

Foley.

2. most of his electorate can't or won't read, so that story

was well hidden. When Faux gnus delivers all the fairly unbalanced stuff they need, how could they ever learn about it in the first place?

3. I ***so*** want Drier gone

Almost as much I want Peter King (R-Long Island) gone.
