The Hill reports that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has spent nearly $1.5 million on four close Senate races in Alaska ($163,550), Colorado ($425,000), Pennsylvania ($610,000) and Washington state ($270,000) in the last few days before Election Day.
If you had told DSCC chair Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) two years ago that in 2010 he would be spending almost $300,000 in the final week of midterms to defend Sen. Patty Murray’s seat, he would have laughed you out of the room. Who’s laughing now?
