Dems hope money, manpower stem losses

ST. LOUIS — Democrats are expressing optimism that the party’s financial might and voter turnout operations will help stem widespread losses in this fall’s election.

They say the GOP’s governing track record may help.

Tim Kaine, the Democratic Party chairman, told Democratic National Committee members that the party is going to do better than people think in the midterm elections.

He pointed to strong July fundraising — an $11.5 million haul leaving them with $10.8 million in the bank. He also noted their proven get-out-the-vote operation built upon the success of the 2008 presidential election that delivered Barack Obama the White House.
