From an RNC Release:
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced it is transferring $1 million to both the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee.
“The Republican National Committee stands by our outstanding leaders in both houses of Congress. This is an investment in strong, principled Republican leadership,” said RNC Chairman Michael Steele.
These funds will be used to ensure the GOP is competitive in the special election of New York’s 20th Congressional district, as well as preparing for the upcoming 2010 midterm elections.

Pelosi Didn't Get the Memo
From our friends at the NRCC:
DCCC Dismisses Obama’s Calls for Bipartisanship
Washington Post Editorial: Politics, Still Strangled: Did the DCCC miss Mr. Obama's memo?
SPIN CYCLE:
Pelosi Proclaimed Congress Must “Work in a Bipartisan Way and Build Consensus”
“The challenges before us are formidable. Some can be solved immediately; others will take more time.
“To solve all of them, we must govern from the middle – reaching across the aisle to work in a bipartisan way and build consensus.
“We will work together with greatest civility.” – Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Speech at Bipartisan New Member Dinner, 11/17/08
RINSE CYCLE:
Dems Only Willing to Offer up More of the Same, DCCC Plays Partisan Politics as Usual
“PRESIDENT OBAMA says he wants a new era of bipartisanship. Among the areas where he is sure to need bipartisan help are foreign aid and fixing the nation's credit system. So why is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee taking cheap shots at Republicans for their votes in those two areas?
“The hits come in radio ads that the DCCC began running yesterday against 28 Republican incumbents for their opposition to Mr. Obama's stimulus bill. That's fair enough; the stance on the bill is a major fault line between the two parties. But the ads also contrast the Republicans' opposition to stimulus with their votes ‘to bail out big banks,’ in some cases, and for ‘building new schools in Iraq,’ in others. ‘Times are tough,’ one ad says. ‘Tell [Rep.] Thad McCotter to put American jobs first.’
“The first reference is to last fall's vote on the Troubled Assets Relief Program, which Mr. Obama and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), chief of the DCCC, both supported -- and rightly so. The second is to a 2005 vote on emergency funds for Iraq that passed 386 to 43, again with Mr. Van Hollen in the majority -- again, rightly so. A spokeswoman for the DCCC says the ads are merely seeking to draw a contrast between past and present votes, and the White House has said that Mr. Obama isn't going to start refereeing others' commercials.
“Well, okay. But when he reaches out to Republicans for help on, say, Afghan reconstruction or the next slice of funds to rescue the banking system, he shouldn't be surprised if they reply, effectively, ‘How dumb do you think we are?’”

Kosmas Backer Caught Making Sweetheart Deals
Will Suzanne Kosmas Condemn Her Benefactor or Keep Taking His Dirty Money?
Washington- It’s no secret that Suzanne Kosmas' recent bid for a seat in Congress was bankrolled by the ethically tarnished New York Congressman Charlie Rangel. And now, Kosmas' financier is in even more hot water - Rangel has been called upon to step down from his position as House Ways and Means Chair by yet another major editorial board for his appalling disregard of the most basic ethical standards.
The Washington Post takes Rangel to task for a possible quid pro quo deal with a major donor:
“[The] latest revelation of Mr. Rangel’s ethical tin ear is the most galling yet. While he remains innocent until proven otherwise, he should step aside as chairman while the ethics committee expands its inquiry."

Statement by NRCC Chairman Tom Cole
NRCC Chairman Cole released the following statement today:
I want to congratulate Pete Sessions on his election as the next Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. It has been my great privilege to serve as Chairman of the NRCC, and I wish my friend Pete every success. While the past two years brought many challenges to this Committee, I was honored every step of the way to be able to serve my colleagues and my Party. To the legions of conservatives throughout America who dedicated their time and resources to helping the NRCC elect Republicans to Congress this year, I am truly grateful. I also want to thank my staff at the NRCC. They have done a tremendous job and I will always remember their dedication and their professionalism. As a new team takes the reigns of this Committee next year, I look forward to helping make their transition seamless.
