Rahm's focus
You're right, of course, that campaigning costs a lot of money, and that means lots of time "dialing for dollars." There are a one or two progressive candidates in this area who don't seem to be willing to do that work to the extend it's necessary (I won't name names).
But I disagree that Rahm Emanuel had any effect on the 20+ Democrats who defeated incumbent Republicans without DCCC help -- or at least without that help until the very end. If Rahm had any effect at all, it pales in comparison to the effect rendered by Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Bob Ney and his friend Jack Abramoff, and (who could ever forget!) Mark Foley.
