Democrats report record fundraising month

Well so much for the "donor fatigue" the media was obsessing about last week. Today the DSCC reports "raising $15.5 million in September, its largest one-month haul ever." It brings their total numbers to about $10 million. The Republicans raised only "$8.3 million in September, and has collected a total of $86.4 million in the two-year election cycle."

Of course the GOPers also have all those conservative stealth groups pouring hundreds of millions into television advertising. They've been flooding the local networks in my little city with hit jobs on the local Dems, for months now. In fact, some of them have been buying up big airtime for anti-Democratic ads since Operation: Death Panel, during the health care reform war.

I saw weeks worth of negative ads on hcr. I can barely remember seeing a couple of pro ads. This is why the GOPers are more successful in their messaging to the low involvement demographic. They're spending more money all year long on directly implanting it in the public narrative.
