MS-01: More Money Moves

Earlier today, the NRCC posted a $350K expenditure against Travis Childers.  Here are the late-evening updates:

The NRCC posted an additional $31,000 in Mississippi tonight, with $10K on direct mail, $17K on media production, and $4400 on another poll.  The committee’s total tab in this district is now $982,600.

The DCCC went up with $139,000 of their own expenditures: $71K in media buys, $33K in direct mail, $30K for media production, and $4400 in field organizing for Childers.  I’m quite pleased to see the last tally, as the ground war will be crucial in a race where voter fatigue is likely running very high.  To date, the DCCC has spent $1,282,835 in Mississippi.

It also looks like Freedom’s Crotch has reared its ugly head in Mississippi hitting Childers on taxes (what else?).  However, Cotton Mouth reports that the local Fox affiliate in Memphis has pulled the ad due to its “false claims and inaccuracies”.

Former Mississippi Gov. William Winter also endorsed Childers on Thursday.

Special election: 5/13.

  1. I’m pumped that Gov. Winter has endorsed Travis.  Bill Winter has a mixed history of endorsement – especially as of late.  He endorsed Republican Governor Haley Barbour in 2007.  I was even at a breakfast in 2006 when he was poking fun of a “blonde-headed senator from New York.”  I can only imagine who he was referring to.

    Though it is encouraging that Governor Winter has endorsed Travis is good news, it remains to be seen how much his endorsement will help.  My guess is that the endorsement – while good – won’t matter much.

  3. are way out of date, Messiah.  This isn’t your fault, as that’s the last available data.  But both dems (and Davis, most likely) have probably doubled those numbers.

  4. Y’all – just think of how much money the DCCC will be able to raise thanks to the wins in Louisiana and Mississippi.  Van Hollen will be able to say: hey look at our wins in Illinois and elsewhere.  Let’s keep the winning going.  

    It’s going to be an amazing fundraising boost, and I can’t freakin’ wait!
