Ouch! Where'd the money go Howard?!

Drudge alluded to this the other day and now we have the details. January 31st marks a filing deadline for the FEC. Now that we have the actual numbers, Dean really does have a lot to answer for:

	RNC	DNC
Beginning Cash on Hand (12/01/05)	$31,993,325	$7,330,642
Total Receipts (ending 12/31/05)	$10,140,749	$3,054,075
Total Disb	$8,162,820	$4,522,837
Ending Cash	$33,971,254	$5,861,880

RNC had 4 times as much money to begin with in December, received 3 times as much in donations, spent twice as much as the DNC and has 5 times as much cash on hand. Ouch, is all I can say.
