Independent Expenditure Roundup: 10/27-11/2

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.

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

Thanks
The numbers were flipped -- should be fixed now.

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

This is it, baby
No runoffs in the general election.

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.
