On August 5th, congressional primaries will be decided in Kansas, Missouri and Michigan. The FEC requires candidates in these states to file fundraising reports covering the extended period of 4/1 through 7/16 by midnight tonight. We've rounded up all the numbers of interest in a handy chart below (which we've inserted into our 2Q round-up chart):

All numbers, of course, are in thousands.
You might notice that our numbers for Kay Barnes don't jive with the figure reported for her by the Politico's Josh Kraushaar. Our chart pegs Barnes' pre-primary fundraising at $463K, while Kraushaar reports that Barnes raised $601K. I'm not sure where Josh is getting his numbers from, but if you look at the actual filing, you'll note that Barnes' net contributions line matches our figure, and her total receipts for the quarter were still well under the Politico's number.
Kay Barnes (MO-06)
Anne Barth (WV-02)
Darcy Burner (WA-08)
Robert Daskas (NV-03)
Steven Driehaus (OH-01)
Jim Himes (CT-04)
Christine Jennings (FL-13)
Larry Kissell (NC-08)
Suzanne Kosmas (FL-24)
Eric Massa (NY-29)
Gary Peters (MI-09)
Mark Schauer (MI-07)
Dan Seals (IL-10)
There are few surprises here, but the committee's stamp of approval given to replacement candidate Anne Barth, who is running against incumbent GOP Rep. Shelley Moore Capito in WV-02 seems indicative of the DCCC's desire to bust open the 2008 playing field in a big way.
According to The Hill, the DCCC has targeted 14 Republican incumbents for web/phone/radio hits starting on Monday. Here's the full list, including each district's Presidential vote in the last two cycles:

However, only seven districts (NC-08, MI-09, AK-AL, NV-03, NY-25, WV-02 and MO-06) are getting the radio ads. But this is a good indicator, perhaps, of the districts that the DCCC plans to aggressively contest next year. While many of these look tough, dynamite candidates in State Senator John Unger and Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes (MO-06) could very well be map changers.
