That ain't chickenfeed. It's part of nationwide buy of $4.6 million across 37 districts, the DCCC's largest so far this cycle.

NY-26: D-Trip Drops $168K Media Buy On Race | 10 comments

Boom goes the dynamite (4.00 / 1)

I like that the Swing State Project post begins with that. A classic phrase that isn't used nearly enough.

WooHoo! (4.00 / 1)

And hey, at current market prices for TV in Buffalo and Rochester, that's about...

1...week...oh snap.

That'll hammer the message home.

(Buffalo ~$70000 + Rochester ~$85000 = $155,000; in reality they'll probably halve the buy and run it for 2 weeks, I'm still underwhelmed)

they ought to drop bucks (0.00 / 0)

In NY-29 instead. Hammer Kuhl on privatization and letting hedge funds buy pensions. And 100k is probably enough to buy up all the tv ads in Elmira for a week.

"In addition" rather than "instead".

They've spent less than $10K in NY-29, according to this:

Is a good time to hammer on privatization and hedge funds, though, given that the financial crisis is in the news right now. Target of opportunity.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

It may make everyone jump, but in the end, its not a very big buy.

Vital districts (0.00 / 0)

This may not be so important, as Obama's numbers are rising, but on the off chance that he ends up with 269 electoral votes we need majorities in as many states' House delegations as we can get.

The Alaska race turns that state from red to blue. So would the MO-9, NV-3 and the combination MI-7 & 9. NH-1 keeps that state blue, and OH 15/16 ties that state up.

Dems already have majorities in 28 states, but every extra state might count, especially with Republicans' recent history of stealing elections.
