Title: Dems Cut Members Adrift

Where the DCCC didn't spend money is as indicative as where it did. With two weeks to go, Democrats are using their checkbooks as acknowledgement that nearly a dozen members are beyond saving.

The DCCC did not spend money on behalf of Reps. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio), Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), Betsy Markey (D-Colo.), Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla.), Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.) and Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), the filings show. Republicans believe those seven seats are all but guaranteed to fall their way.

Even in some races where Democrats did spend money, their advertising indicates little more than a token effort at salvaging seats that are also likely to fall to the GOP. The DCCC is spending just $30,000 for Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio), who polls show trailing ex-Rep. Steve Chabot (R) by wide margins. That follows reports that the DCCC was pulling out of Driehaus' district.

Funny, I don't remember this kind of talk, not even in 1994 or 2006 when the Republicans lost.  It's starting to look ugly out there.

Throw Carol Che-Pelosi into that group as well.  She has a few fringe groups still buying airtime, but her commercials are looking more pathetic and desperate.

Notice the absence of Senate seats from that list...though there are indications they have written off some of the Senate races, just not to quite the extreme degree involved in this story.

I was doing a little browsing a few days ago in opensecrets.  Che has some interesting donors. Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, among others in her 600 largest donors.  When you filter them by state = NH it is even more interesting.  Her grass roots turned dingy brown.   :rotf:    Wasn't it "Deep Throat" who advised, "Follow the Money" or was that another movie?

You gotta send me that link.  I could use a few laughs.  Especially where she claims she doesn't take PAC money.

Start here>

http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00028091&cycle=2010&type=C&newMem=N&recs=100

Then try this one >

http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.php?sort=N&capcode=33qbj&name=&state=&zip=&employ=&cand=Shea&all=n&old=n&Soft=&c2010=Y&c2008=n&c2006=n

Which should bring back 660 donors from all states ( you may have to click sort)


then this one>  ( just nh)
http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.php?sort=N&capcode=mbmkq&name=&state=NH&zip=&employ=&cand=Shea&all=n&old=n&Soft=&c2010=Y&c2008=n&c2006=n


You may have to type in the funny number letter combination and hit sort to see results.  It may be a cache thing.

ETA:  Looks like you will have to run the querys directly, for donors use the first drop down tab.  You should be able to recreate what I got for results.

Have fun.
