Another quiet month for state party finance

President Abe Lincoln has got his $5-bill hat worn to the side because he’s laid back, like the state parties’ financial operations, at least dealing with the Federal accounts, in November. There was a little fundraising, usual payments, a little action to stay active, but nothing that screamed out anything interesting. Except, that is, a poll paid for by the Democrats. That looked interesting.
