The DCCC’s independent expenditures for the evening in Mississippi:
- $1450 on phonebanking
- $16,700 on direct mail
- $3000 on media production
- $6000 on field organizing for Travis Childers
The NRCC:
- $700 on phonebanking
- $4400 on polling
This has got to be the 9th or 10th round of polling that the NRCC has commissioned here. (Update: I checked — it’s actually the 8th round.) Interesting that they haven’t released the toplines from any of them.
Total spent:
NRCC: $1,057,384  |  DCCC: $1,645,893
without ANY results going to the media for public consumption;we can deduce what we already know; the repukes are trailing AND they have a huge message problem(multiple polls indicate they are polling different messages); notice how childers cotinues to spend on gotv prep(that is a good sign)
Could be that Republican leadership want to know what they should expect Tuesday.
Unlike LA-06, I’m trying to avoid being overly optimistic about this race.
I’ve been noticing all the polls the NRCC likes to conduct. I really don’t see what they can get out of so many of them. And with no new ads, I don’t see how they plan on changing them. But I do like seeing the waste of money!
Doesn’t that mean that there is a media buy in the tubes for the DCCC? You dont make an ad without running it.
the one bright spot in mr childers not winning outright a few weeks ago was that the cash-strapped NRCC might end up spending $1M to hold a R10 seat – and of course we’re desperately hoping they lose it anyway.
GO TRAVIS!
