 Gene, good morning. They used to say back in the day, money talks, BS, you know, it walks. This is the WPR News at 7.30. Gene, your network, NBC, is reporting there has been a major slowdown in donations to the president's re-election campaign. One source tells the networks it's disastrous. Another says that the money has shut off. The first Senate Democrat, Peter Welch of Vermont, jumped ship in the night. That is even for tonight's big boy news conference, as they've called it, for the president.
