With cash lead, GOP adds to its targets

The Republican Party and its allies are using a clear financial advantage to pursue a rare opportunity this year, spreading resources across an unusually large number of races, including many considered safe for Democrats just weeks ago.
The conservative push further endangers Democratic control of the House and Senate in a political environment already highly favorable for the GOP.
Rather than pursuing the usual political strategy of focusing on close races, Republicans and conservative groups have spent money on longshots as well - testing to see whether a nudge can make a sleepy race competitive.
The GOP strategy, enabled by millions of dollars raised and distributed by interest groups, has opened up contests weeks before the Nov. 2 midterm elections and forced the Democrats to ratchet up their defensive spending in many districts.
Republican Party committees and conservative groups have spent $100,000 or more in 77 different House races across the country. By comparison, the Democratic Party and its supporters have spent that much in 43 House races, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Conservatives finally woke up and are answering the various Liberal Group Bloc vote scams. Blacks, Gays, etc. We are no longer the silent majority of working taxpayers. They are on the run. Thank You Obama.
At this stage of the game, all I have left to decide is whether I want to watch election coverage on CNN or MSNBC. For the tears.
Dems cash-poor tale of woe ignores $250 million coming from unions, liberal groups
at this point all we have is GOTV!
each conservative must take 20 plus to the polls
EARLY VOTING HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But th Washpost admits:
“In House races, Democrats have a $7 million edge in total spending on television ads”
?????????
(Added Boucher and Griffith to keywords since the article has a bit about the VA 9th race.)
I'm SO with you here. I sometimes daydream that our side wins every seat in the House. Would that be a mandate? Would we be "angry voters" then? I would laugh myself silly.
Remember when the Rats were comforted by the news that DNC had more money than the RNC? Damn. This horrible turn of events - money pouring into conservative candidates - shows more than ever that we need a Supreme Court that will prevent people from supporting whoever they damn well please with their own money.
maybe its the hidden plan by the big shot GOPers....piss off the little guys and they'll give more to the candidates than they would have given the GOP anyway...
(I just threw another $2k into the bucket - perhaps last chance to restore Constitutional Republic without bloodshed)
Very Machiavelli..
In fact, the GOP is being funded by other means.
I plan to watch both, record one for later viewing.
