A sign of the times
I don't know why this surprises me, but imagine this "endangered, underfunded Republicans" subtext being expressed just a year ago.
(I think it also points out that the large political donors are largely beyond party, paying for the influence of those in power.)
Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said he expects to put together as many as 30 joint fundraising events around the country for the four most vulnerable senators of 2008: Sens. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, Susan Collins of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon and John Sununu of New Hampshire.....
The tour underscores the pressure on Senate Republicans to keep up with Democrats, who out-raised the GOP in the first three months of the year.

Bingo on the large donors are beyond party. I think people forget that truly big business could care less about ideology as long as they get their way. Example: Under Clinton, the FCC completely deregulated broadcasting. Under Bush, the FCC is cracking down on the minute details of rules with vigor. Now, which party is for less government interference, again?
