What! Gave up your Congressional seat, you naughty kitten! Then you shall have no pie.
The Washington Times has reported the following shocking news:
Democratic Party leaders are paying little attention and giving little support to the Georgia Senate campaign of Rep. Denise L. Majette, despite pumping money into campaigns in five other Southern states.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) for months has been touting their candidates' chances for victory in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Louisiana — but not Georgia.
The DSCC has given Mrs. Majette no money.
"I think everyone she talked to advised her not to run, and she has complained throughout the campaign about the lack of help," [Merle Black, government professor at Emory University in Atlanta,] said. "No one who has looked at this seriously sees her having a chance of winning."
Mrs. Majette chose to forgo running for a second term in the House to seek the Senate seat against the wishes of Democratic supporters in her state and in the national party, [Jennifer Duffy, managing editor of the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan analysis of electoral politics,] said.
Mr. Black and Mrs. Duffy said the odds are slim that Mrs. Majette will receive any help at all.
[Why is this news "shocking?" See 8-05-04 post below entitled: "The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about Oxford and Corzine."]
