Parties target competitive races in Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The national campaign committees have spent $18 million combined on a few House races in Pennsylvania, a state Democrats see as critical to their hopes of capturing control of the House.
The spending is more than the $12 million combined spent in Ohioor the $9 million combined dedicated to Connecticut, the other top states with several competitive House races. The independent expenditure money primarily pays for television ads and can make the difference in competitive races -- particularly if a candidate is short on cash. Democrats must gain 15 seats in next week's election to win control of the House. For CNN's coverage of the midterm elections, check out America Votes 2006 |
