And for the NRCC:

  • CA-08: $21,700 on a media buy against Nancy Pelosi

If you’re scratching your head and wondering why the NRCC is sinking cash against Pelosi, PolitickerCA explains that the buy was made on nationwide cable (FOX, of course) and takes aim at Pelosi and other Democrats on the energy crisis. So, there you go.

And finally, from the Club For Growth:

  • AK-AL: $33,600 on radio ads against Don Young

  1. $21,000 on nationwide cable? I think Tyler Oakley had the appropriate reaction a few days ago. NRCC you can go s*** my d***.

    Oh, and I have a toilet ya’ll can flush money down if you want to.

  2. Why the heck are we running ads against Young?  We should be running ads in favor of him so that he wins the primary.  I can understand the ads against Parnell, but we should leave Young alone for now.

  3. I sure hope Constituent Dynamics does a flood of congressional polls like they did in 2006.  In 2006 they were the only independent pollster that did a large number (60+) of polls for congressional races.  They did a decent job polling in 2006.  Has anyone heard anything about whether they are polling in 2008?

  4. say that I would love SSP to death if they made a SSP IE Tracker Page to make all of this less confusing.

    Make Senate and House pages. Under each race put the total IE’s for both sides, IE’s for each side and each IE so far for the race under what it’s for

    so it would be like this (not real numbers)

    AK-AL:

    Total IE: 100,000

    Dem Total IE: 50,000

    DCCC IE: 30,000

    MoveOn IE: 20,000

    GOP IE: 50,000

    Club for Growth IE: 35,000

    Palinmania IE: 15,000

    Direct Mail:

    25,000 opposing Parnell and Young (DCCC)

    10,000 anti-Parnell (MoveOn)

    5,000 anti-Young (Club for Growth)

    Radio:

    15,000 pro-Parnell (Palinmania)

    5,000 anti-Young/Parnell (DCCC)

    TV

    30,000 pro-Parnell / Anti-Young (Club for Growth)

    10,000 anti-Parnell/Young (MoveOn)

    That would be so amazing. I would help keep it up to date or do anything needed.
