After all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth about how the Citizens United ruling benefits Republicans, after Obama's claims about foreign money bankrolling the ads we're seeing, this was the last thing I expected to read in the New York Times:
Despite a deluge of campaign spending over the last few months by Republican-leaning outside groups, Democratic candidates and their allies have outspent Republicans over all on television advertising in House races, according to data provided by Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks political advertising. In Senate races, however, Republicans outspent Democrats.

Republicans need to learn from Michelle Bachmann. Her cheery, wonderfully-well-trained fundraisers call me about 10 times a week. And I'm in California.
That's not to mention her own recorded robocalls and weekly direct mail.
The woman's a fundraising monster.

Are you quite sure? I have it on good authority that Republicans have spent over 200 billion on these races. Is there some kind of mistake here?

Where do you think all that "stimulus" money went?
