Last week Battle ‘10 reported on the Club for Growth’s doubling down on its support for Pat Toomey, its former president. As Jim Geraghty has noted at The Campaign Spot, The DSCC is on track to spend at least $9 million attacking Toomey by Election Day, more than any other senate race.
Now, the Club is asking for even more support after it received an influx of more than $400,000 after last week’s announcement that it was pumping another million in for Toomey.
Dear Thomas,
From Friday’s Rasmussen Reports: “Republican Pat Toomey now holds just a four-point lead over Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. It’s the closest the contest has been since May.”
Four points is the poll’s margin of error. Rasmussen and CQ Politics both just moved this race to a toss-up.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is spending more on this race than any other Senate race in the nation. On Friday, the DSCC and Sestak combined for over 315 TV ads, a rate of nearly $2 million per week. Nearly all of the ads are hard-hitting attacks against Pat Toomey.
The bell has rung for the final round of this historic fight, and Club for Growth Action is answering.
Last week, we launched a $1 million ad campaign on Philadelphia television. Thankfully, the response from our members was so immediate and overwhelming that we were able to immediately put another $400,000 into the Pittsburgh media market!
Now we need to keep it going! There are still two more Pennsylvania media markets – Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton – where we need to quickly get our message on air. [emphasis added]
Pennsylvania is earning its reputation as a battleground state.
