Republicans Begging For Money?

Republican failed U.S. Senate candidate Michael Steele today sent out a letter to some of his closest campaign supporters asking for a dear favor. In Steele's loss to Democrat Ben Cardin in November, he appeared to have spent more money than he raised (sound like a microcosm of his party?).
In Steele's letter he writes, "You've always known me to call it as I see it, so I will get straight to the point," Steele writes. "Steele for Maryland Inc. has just over $205,000 in unpaid bills from my Senate campaign. As hard as it is to write this letter, you're one of the few I can count on to help me raise the dollars I need to pay all of my committee's bills."
"Anyone got $205,000 to help me pay my bills?" Maybe Steele should go to the RNC, instead of begging Marylanders for money, especially after talks of a second go-around at losing to Democrats by hinting at challenging Governor Martin O'Malley for governor in 2010. What I don't understand is, who would ever want to contribute to a candidate who has already lost the election? Wouldn't you just want to give your money to someone who might actually implement what you see as right? It will definitely be interesting to see if he can pay his debt, or if the RNC will pay his debt, or if he just accumulates debt and gets taken away. We shall see. Keep checking in.
