Late Friday, the NRCC reported another huge expenditure on congressional campaigns nationwide: almost $8.5 million. That brings the total spent by the NRCC since September 1 to nearly $50 million.
Here are the highlights of yesterday’s buy:
$870,711 against Tammy Duckworth in the IL-6;
$681,919 against Lois Murphy in the PA-6;
$690,504 against Joe Sestak in the PA-7;
$676,781 against Patrick Murphy in the PA-8;
$561,110 against Zack Space in the OH-18;
$470,648 against Baron Hill in the IN-9;
$424,786 against Ken Lucas in the KY-4;
$414,826 against Patricia Madrid in the NM-1;
$351,599 against Patty Wetterling in the MN-6;
$271,000 to try to salvage the FL-16, Mark Foley’s old district;
There are some additional smaller expenditures in some of the races I listed above, but those are major buys by the NRCC yesterday. So much money; so little time.
