With the DCCC and now AFSCME spending delivering a nearly $1.8 million moneynuke to Schuring in the past few weeks, I wouldn’t be surprised if the NRCC decided not to even bother with this one.
SSP currently rates this race as Lean Democratic.
The NRCC has already started pulling out. We’re winning.
Total waste of money.
Boccieri has a pretty comfortable lead. I would like to see more spending on behalf of Driehaus and Wulsin. (OH-01 and OH-02)
This kind of spending by a public employees labor union, so late in the race, to a candidate who seems to be winning, does seem a little gratuitous.
