It’s not a dramatically large buy, but the NRCC nudged up their total expenditures in the OH-05 special election today: $28,000 on another media buy, and another two grand on what I presume are robocalls. The new expenditures bring the NRCC’s total tab in this R+10 district to $410,682.
Nothing from the DCCC today (so far).
Looks like the phone banks are for the Virginia race, not OH-5.
There are two phonebanks, one for OH-5. Good to see they’re still doling out money in Virginia, though.
Latta posted on RedState (sorry, I won’t link there) Dec 6 4:07pm on the front page, “Let’s keep this district Republican and one less vote for Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco agenda”. Then proceeded with his screed against Speaker Pelosi and her San Francisco liberal posse. At this point there are 3 comments in response. All basically tell Latta he is not welcome amongst the True Believers. Hilarious when Latta has written, “I want to thank the Republican netroots community for supporting my candidacy, especially those at Slatecard, Redstate, and Blogs for Victory.” Funny stuff, maybe there are Republicans in the district who will sit out this election.
That’s close to 15% of their total CoH in one race. And they have 18 more to defend next November.
