The Key House Races "Candidate of the Day" thread will be posted daily up until Nov. 2 and feature a different candidate each day. Each of these candidates is in a Toss Up, Leans D, or Likely D race and represents one of the front line soldiers in the fierce battle for control of the U.S. House.
The DCCC and liberal special interest groups are pouring resources into these races and will continue to do so up until Nov. 2. Thousands of donations targeted toward the GOP candidates in competitive races will NEUTRALIZE the donations of these Democratic special interest groups. Targeted donations are KEY to the GOP taking back the House in November and derailing the Pelosi/Obama Express of failed economic policies, bailouts, higher taxes, and government takeovers.

WESTERN & SOUTH CENTRAL CO, GRAND JUNCTION, DURANGO AND PUEBLO The CO third is represented in the 111th Congress by Third-Termer Democrat John Salazar, brother of Ken Salazar, current Interior Secretary. Republican Scott Tipton, spurred to enter the race by Salazar’s vote for the House health care reform bill, is back to challenge Salazar after losing to him in 2006. The Tipton campaign will focus on taking "Colorado Common Sense Back to Washington". |

My intuition is this is one we will get.
What does ‘total’ and ‘cash’ on the table mean? I thought cash means whatever left they had in hand when they reported. Why does Salazar have more cash ($1,257, 639) than total ($1,224,544)?
Dems seem to be able to do this trick. Don’t ask me how. It must just be some quirk in the reporting system.
In any case these figures are about to get updated following the end of September reporting by all the candidates.
