We pointed out that the DCCC is MIA when it comes to spending in the the 29th especially compared to spending thus far in the neighboring 26th for Alice Kryzan and the 25th for Dan Maffei.  Um, What are you waiting for DCCC?

Speaking of Ads - Massa released this Ad, Then there is this Ad from the Patriot Majority blasting Kuhl’s ties to Big Oil,  Health Care for America Now released this Ad.

Meanwhile,  Polls (47%-42% ), Polls (51%-44%) Polls (49%-42%) all seem to favor Massa.   Even the Swing State Project changed its rating of this race to Toss-up from Leans Republican,
