"Democrats Seek a Stronger Focus, and Money" Here is the second of two parts on the political parties by Adam Clymer in the New York Times. From the article: "They have been inattentive to fund-raising from small donors, especially by direct mail, a situation that has grown desperate now that the unlimited donations known as soft money have been outlawed under the McCain-Feingold law, though the measure is being challenged in court. As Donna Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager in 2000, said, 'Without soft money, the party is in poverty.'"
