Why should all Republicans be worried?

Here's another reason (not related to Sen. Larry Craig): "More than a third of the top fundraisers who helped elect George W. Bush president remain on the sidelines in 2008, contributing to a gaping financial disparity between the GOP candidates and their Democratic counterparts," Chris Cillizza and Matthew Mosk write in The Washington Post. "A sizable number still have a wait-and-see attitude, despite the fact that the field appears to be set after the late entry of Thompson and the decision by former House speaker Newt Gingrich to stay out."

There is much to parse in this astounding sentence: "Hillary Clinton raised more money on Wall Street last quarter than Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney combined," Bloomberg News' Kristin Jensen and Julianna Goldman report.
