Let’s tally this up: that’s $33,000 for two commercials, another $30,000 on mailers, and $8500 to produce the new ads. A pretty modest list of expenditures, to be sure. Is that it? There’s always a chance that more filings will come in later in the evening. We’ll keep an eye out.
The grand total that the DCCC has spent on this race? $243,748.14
UPDATE (10PM): Nothing new to report, but since these expenditures can be reported up to 24 hours after the fact, it’s possible that we could see more numbers tomorrow. Or this could be it.

Over 2 Solid red seats.
for about an hour. The Ohio Democratic Party has set up a virtual phone bank, so anyone can make GOTV calls in this race. I plan on making more calls every day between now and the election. If the NRSC wants to keep this seat, lets make them fight for it!
