Meanwhile, In Washington State

where I and many of Contrarienne's friends also reside, somebody's internals must show the Dave (I vote the way they tell me) Reichert/Darcy Burmer race closer than that latest polls show because the R's are putting their biggest bucks behind Reichert to get him a second term in the House.

National House Committees Shell Out Big Money, NRCC Finally In The Game
Both parties' national House committees shelled out big bucks in the newest federal filings. The DCCC spent nearly $4 million in yesterday's FEC filings, with the biggest expenditure going for $450,000 against Rep. Robin "Liberals Hate Real Americans" Hayes (R-NC). The NRCC, which has held on to its much smaller war chest until the home stretch of the campaign, spent $4.1 million, with the biggest payment going for over $450,000 to defend Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA).
