House Race Hotline Update: The Money
The FEC filings in the 9 states holding primaries this week offer an outline of how some key races -- and potential sleepers -- are shaping up:
-- One of the biggest spenders over the last month has been NRCC Chair Tom Reynolds, (R-NY 26). He's already aired 4 ads; his latest one attacks '04 nominee Jack Davis (D) by name.
-- One sleeper race to watch is in NH 02, where Rep. Charlie Bass (R) was outspent nearly 3-to-1 by '04 opponent Paul Hodes (D).
-- In NY 24, state Sen. Ray Meier (R) has built up a comfortable CoH lead over Oneida Co. DA Michael Arcuri (D).
-- Microsoft exec. Darcy Burner (D) continues to raise and spend money at a brisk clip in WA 08. In the last month, she aired her first TV ad and sent out 2 direct mail pieces.
-- Despite facing no significant primary threat, John Gard (R) has already spent $664K in WI 08 over the last 2 months -- the highest among all candidates. In comparison, Rick O'Donnell (R) only spent $137K last qtr running unopposed. [JOSH KRAUSHAAR]

Okay ... lets see if this makes sense?
"Despite having no significant primary threat, John Gard of WI spends $664,000 in a republican primary for the 8th congressional seat."
What is inconsistent about that statement? The 664,000 for a record spending primary ... or ... no significant primary opponent?
Lets re-examine your facts in this story.
thanks!
