Extended primary threatens Democratic majority in Congress

Finance Director of Democratic congressional campaign: Hillary is destroying us

We had a good 1st Quarter anyway, but I don't think we can continue to reach our fundraising targets unless this thing gets settled, and quickly. For her to wait until June is a nightmare that may well guarantee that not only my guy, but dozens and dozens of other challengers will come up badly short of their goals for the 2nd Quarter. And my candidate is in the very top level of targeted races. I can only imagine what the lower tiers of challengers are facing (well, no, actually I've heard from some of them, including the finance chair for a candidate in the Midwest to whom I spoke today).

We need her to drop out now, not only for the sake of our real Presidential nominee winning in November, but so that the rest of us can finally have a fighting chance with donors.

Even if we get a Dem in the White House, if we lose Congress, we are so screwed. And, this should be a warning to all those who say that even if McCain wins, at least we'll have a solid majority in Congress.
