Unions and other Democratic interest groups are rapidly closing the gap with their conservative opponents in spending on the midterm elections, using fresh support from well-heeled donors to quicken the pace of expenditures in the final days of the campaign. This Story

Democratic leaders from President Obama on down have assailed the spending by outside conservative groups, complaining that the business lobby and other Republican allies are pouring millions of dollars into the election as they shield donors from public scrutiny.

Maybe they’re saving their money. Not wasting it on a lost cause.

The rank and file may not be so enthralled with the messiah.

[Deagle]

This election can NOT be saved by money - no matter how much they spend! This election is on principle and policy. That can NOT be changed now... Goodbye Democrats - you and your idiotic party policies!

[GonzoGOP]

For the house, too little too late. But it may make a difference in holding “Blue” seats like California, Washington, Connecticut and West Virginia. In those states is isn't about convincing voters, just getting your people to show up. And walking about money can do a lot of good in that kind of race.

From the Walberg campaign Mi-7

Thanks to your tremendous support, we have been able to fight back against Mark Schauer and his liberal allies' negative attacks. As the latest poll shows (polling memo below by Adam Geller, president of National Research- Adam is New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's pollster), Tim has now taken the lead, but the Democrats are throwing everything at us this final week. The opposition has already purchased over $1 million in television ads against us for the last seven days.

Laundered stimulis money is not going to save their hides.

using fresh support from well-heeled donors

Democrats, the party of the rich elitists. And, of course, pork grubbers and stimulus recipients. Not to mention tax-supported unions and gubbermint workers.

[Deagle]

NOT this time!... They can scream about money all they want, it just will NOT make a difference for this election! That is something they probably know but will still complain about.

[Buckeye McFrog]

In my area the number of ads being run by various union groups is off the charts. Most are extremely shrill and panicky. Claiming the GOP wants to ship all of your jobs to China, playing clips from Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street, etc.
