We now know where the DCCC is slated to spend their money on their first and second waves of advertising.
Here’s the full list of Democratic incumbents who the DCCC plans run ads in support of: Alabama Rep. Bobby Bright; Arizona Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Harry Mitchell, and Gabrielle Giffords; California Rep. Jerry McNerney; Colorado Rep. Betsy Markey; Florida Reps. Allen Boyd and Suzanne Kosmas; Iowa Rep. Leonard Boswell; Illinois Reps. Debbie Halvorson and Bill Foster; Indiana Rep. Joe Donnelly; Missouri Rep. Ike Skelton; Michigan Rep. Mark Schauer, Mississippi Rep. Travis Childers; North Carolina Rep. Larry Kissell; North Dakota Rep. Earl Pomeroy; New Mexico Rep. Harry Teague; Nevada Rep. Dina Titus; New York Reps. Bill Owens and Michael Arcuri; Ohio Reps. Steve Driehaus, Mary Jo Kilroy and John Boccieri; Pennsylvania Reps. Kathy Dahlkemper, Chris Carney, Paul Kanjorski and Mark Critz; South Carolina Rep. John Spratt; South Dakota Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin; Texas Reps. Chet Edwards and Ciro Rodriguez; Virginia Reps. Tom Perriello, Glenn Nye and Gerry Connolly; and Wisconsin Rep. Steve Kagen.
I went through my previous list of 99 to see who was not on the DCCC’s “help” list. (There are a few I would drop, like Frank Pallone in New Jersey and Dan Maffei of New York, barring some dramatic developments.) A lot, but not all, of these Democratic incumbents enjoy a healthy financial advantage over their GOP challengers. Among the names I’m most surprised to not see on the DCCC list: Frank Kratovil and Baron Hill.

* The linked list from Politico is not complete, despite its claim; Betty Sutton of Ohio is indeed on the DCCC list, as is Zach Space. I originally thought she was a surprising omission. Thanks, Politico. This explains how Walt Minnick was on the list yesterday and wasn’t on the Politico list today.
