Landrieu in Trouble
Louisiana’s vulnerable Democract isn’t attracting the black support she needs. Plus: Senator Schwarzenegger? Also: Jon Corzine’s shot.
(Page 3 of 3)
Jon Corzine
to take over
the chairmanship of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee
come December. Corzine, who won election in New Jersey in 2000 by
financing much of his race with his own money, will be expected to
recruit future Democratic candidates who fit his mold.

“With the soft money bans, we aren’t going to have the kind of money we had,” says a DSCC staffer. “Much more than Republicans, we’re going to have to find wealthy individuals willing to spend their own money to serve.”
While Corzine can probably identify those types of candidates, and will probably be able to advise many on how to jumpstart campaigns, some inside the Democratic caucus wonder if Corzine is up to the task. “He’s still a bit of an unknown,” says the staffer. “We can’t afford another election cycle like this one. Daschle and McAuliffe better know what they are doing.”
