Most of the money coming from outside the state comes from Republican sources supporting Rossi. Do they really expect us to believe that they're doing it from the goodness of their hearts? BS! If he gets elected, he'll owe them big time and he'll pay it off with big money!

Election media blitz grows
With ballots already sitting on kitchen counters and control of the U.S. Senate up for grabs, a torrent of campaign cash continues to surge into the race between Patty Murray and Dino Rossi as independent groups spent almost $4.5 million in three days this week.
More than $11.4 million in independent expenditures in the race have been reported, according to the Sunlight Foundation, a non partisan, non profit watchdog group that tracks such spending using Federal Election Commission filings.
Nearly two-thirds of the money spent on negative advertising has been spent bashing Murray, the Democratic incumbent seeking a fourth term against Republican challenger Rossi.

Republicans believe a Rossi victory might hand them control of the Senate. Democrats hope to build a Western firewall to thwart a Republican takeover and have made the Senate races in Washington state, California and Nevada a top priority. [snipped]

Anyone else getting bombarded w/ mailers supporting Rossi, Herrera and the rest of the conservative causes? They have never wasted their money on me before, but all kinds of Repub hit pieces have been stuffed in my mailbox the last couple of weeks. Wondering if they're mailing to all "perfect" voters.
Haven't gotten any Rossi crap, but the Herrera people have spent some money on me. To no avail, of course, but hopefully some printer got enough $$ to keep the business going for awhile longer.

Today I got a mailer that just said to "vote Republican". No mention of any particular candidate or issue, just "vote Republican". Never seen anything like that before, but I've never really been on the Rs mailing list before, either.
