As promised. Short version: DNC beat RNC, NRSC edged DSCC, DCCC edged NRCC, and cash on hand would worry me more if the GOP hadn’t just removed the NJ & VA governorships from the Democrats and essentially handed NY-23 as part of a unfortunate but necessary life lesson to the GOP leadership. RNC 9.06 11.29 0.00 DNC 11.58 12.96 4.40 NRSC 4.00 5.80 0.00 DSCC 3.70 11.30 2.00 NRCC 3.44 4.17 2.00...

One of the especially tiring aspects of the 2008 presidential election was the "politics of outrage" fundraising letter. If someone, somewhere said something even remotely bad about a candidate, whether true or not, that candidate would inevitably rush out an email to supporters asking them to show that person who badmouthed them a lesson or two. And by lesson, we mean a campaign contribution....

While Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias trails leading Republican hopeful Mark Kirk by just three points, Democratic rival David Hoffman - who trails Kirk by seven - still claims to be the more electable of the two. The Hoffman campaign released some of its own polling data on Tuesday and The Hill reports that Hoffman believes Giannoulias' lead over him to be solely down to name recognition,...

Not sure how the Republicans are supposed to retake the House if the Democrats have more than five times more money in the bank than they do. The DCCC, like its GOP counterpart, spent more than it took in during Oct., thanks to the expensive NY-23 special election. Still, it outraised the NRCC, as the Dem cmte took in $3.8M last month. It also outspent the NRCC, shelling out nearly $4M (about $1.1M...

...I meant in the election, not necessarily in life. That is for others to debate. What can be said now definitively, however, is that in the election held two-plus weeks ago, Democrat Bill Owens was properly elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, while de facto GOP nominee Doug Hoffman has officially run out of chances (scroll down for the vote totals): It's over. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh,...

The NRCC spent more money than it took in last month, thanks to nearly $900K the committee spent on the unsuccessful effort to win a special election in NY. The NRCC raised $3.4M in Oct. but spent $3.6M as well. The committee spent $897K on independent expenditures blasting now-Rep. Bill Owens (D) in his race against Assemb. Dede Scozzafava and Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman . House GOPers...

? NY-23 : Well, it didn't take long for Doug Hoffman to start bringing the crazy. (Maybe his new mentor Glenn Beck is already rubbing off on him.) First came the unconceding (and un-unconceding, as the absentee count wasn't getting him any closer), but now he's sending around a fundraising letter saying that "ACORN, the unions, and the Democratic Party" "tampered" with the election...
The Fighting 29th (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009
The 29th has seen a few close races, but neither Randy Kuhl nor Eric Massa poisoned the well the way Doug Hoffman just did. Citing an ACORN conspiracy, Hoffman revoked his concession, and now he's been fundraising on claims of "tampering" based on ordinary election-night screwups. This is what happens when a candidate is looking for approval from forces outside the district. It may play...

The Rothenberg Political Report (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009
By Stuart Rothenberg The discussion about whether the election results earlier this month reflected local factors or constituted a referendum on President Barack Obama creates a false choice. Candidate quality, fundraising and local issues are always significant factors in gubernatorial races. But the national political and economic environment creates the context within which those state races are...

Longshot U.S. Senate candidate Chuck Purgason said he's encouraged by a new Public Policy Polling survey that shows his support in double-digits and noted that Congressman Roy Blunt's high unfavorable numbers in the Ozarks exemplify the problems of the Republican Party's frontrunner. The poll, conducted between November 13 and 15th, shows Purgason trailing Blunt, 53% to 16%in a primary match-up. But...

As chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank is busy this year in ways he may not have expected when he assumed the post in 2007, just before the country's economy slipped into a recession. Frank's promotion from ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee to chairman helped earn him about 37 percent more from the industries footing his campaign bills compared to...

If you don't live in Pennsylvania, you might not be keeping up with the indictments. By way of background, Tom Corbett is the current Attorney General of the state. He's squeaky clean, to the best of my knowledge. He's also running on the GOP side for governor. As prognostications go, I think he wins both the primary and the general. I'll get into that after the jump, but this is really about something...
