DCCC playing its part in WNY
Well, Looks like the DCCC sent lawyers, guns and money to Western New York. Recall Chris Van Hollen came and announced support for Eric Massa in August. That is August, 2007, by the way.
Here are the latest totals - Just DCCC totals. The red is the spend by NRCC and other independents as Identified by Swing State Project.
NY-25 - $144,570 (0)
NY-26 - $1,208,520 ($327,034)
NY-29 - $ 504,652 ($313,713)
RE the 29th: Remember there are the Patriot Majority Ads and the HCAN ads that are not included in the NY-29th total (HCAN is a 400K ad buy).
So the DCCC promised $2.7 million dollars and has delivered $1.85 million. This is the last week before the election and final Ad buys need to be announced soon. How are they doing? Certainly better than 2006. What will they do with the other .9 million?
I hope for an additional ad buy in the 29h and then they can call it a race.
What do you think?

Great that they are finally seeing that these seats can be won with a little support. I suspect that there are seats opening up all over the country for the Democrats. Maybe they think Eric actually will win easily in the current economic climate.
BTW I heard that the little College Republican McCain Campaign staffer who cried “6′4″ Black Obama-supporting thief” (and then got caught out in her race-baiting lie) actually hails from up Rochester way.
Her name is Ashley Todd. Apparently has Republicans way back in the family…including a grandfather who was a Republican State Representative. Any info might be posted on Huffington post dKos or firedoglake.
