Will the DNC Request a Bailout?

The Los Angeles Times' Top of the Ticket blog illustrates exactly where the Obama "change" revolution is starting. In an e-mail blitz that the Democratic National Committee is sending out, it seems that "hope and change" need to start, not on a national level, but closer to home:

Today, Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe sent another urgent e-mail to supporters seeking at least another $30.

Here's what he said:

"We'll get to work transforming this country. But first, we need to take care of the DNC."

Did we hear that right? Now that Obama's the president-elect, the top priority is the Democratic National Committee?

The crux of the problem is that the DNC overspent its $100 million coffers. If the DNC has this much fiscal irresponsibility, just imagine what the country has in store for itself with the Democrats in control of the House, Senate, and White House.
