Independent Expenditure Roundup: 10/27-11/2

by: James L.

Tue Nov 04, 2008 at 4:10 PM EST

A roundup of all the independent expenditures filed by the DCCC and the NRCC from October 27th through November 2nd -- essentially the last real week of expenditures:

As you can see, the DCCC outspent the NRCC by a greater than 2-to-1 margin int he final week of the campaign, and by a greater than 3-to-1 margin over the entire campaign. Would I have preferred to see some of this money spread out more? Of course. But it'll only take us a few more hours to pinpoint the races that got away from us.

Cazayoux

Something seems wrong on this one--NRCC Last Week exceeds NRCC Total.

Does he need 50%?

Does Cazayoux need 50% to win tonight or is this it? Louisiana's election laws always confuse me.

Locks

The races in which the DCCC didn't spend any money last week are probably all locks. FL-16 and MO-06 likely losses all others wins.

2010 will be a tough year for us

The economy will be crappy and there will be no huge Obama turnout machine boosting our candidates.

I could see the DCCC playing only defense two years from now, making our chances for pickups even more minimal.

I just can't get over my disappointment that we didn't even play for seats like IA-04. Greenwald didn't run the world's best campaign, but with $200,000 in tv ads she probably could have made it.
