Ken Mehlman must have informed the Prez and Karl Rove that the spigot to the RNC has slowed down to a trickle.
I know I must have answered about a dozen solicitation letters and half a dozen phone calls in the past three months with "thanks but no thanks, NO AMNESTY, ESTUPIDOS!"
I do put my own stamps on the return envelopes, however.

Actually the GOP isn't having any problems in that department. Even in the Seattle area a visit by the President brings in big dollars.
Nah, follow the polls the W.H. claims to not watch.
Donations to the Dole's committee are suffering, but that's do to many factors. The Senate has ticked people off on one issue after another for awhile.
What the W.H. wants is open borders and amnesty. They fear losing elections by blatantly advertising the fact. They saw how their polls dived.
Solution? Co-opt someone with "conservative" credentials and have them propose an amnesty that's not amnesty plan. Effect? They believe sufficient scores of conservatives will buy it, vote GOP, and they get what they've wanted all along.
Will conservatives buy it because of pence's name I.D. or will they examine the details and reject it based on its substance? That's the real question.
Leni, don't discount something many of us knew:
Bush needed to do anything he could to outwardly support the PAN Party in Mexico, and I'm not at all surprised this news comes right after their election.
I have more faith than ever in this administration. And I don't believe it has anything to do with a trickling spigot.
