I first saw the tip-off from @mattmackowiak, but said tweet unfortunately needs some typos corrected:
- FL-18 (not FL-08): “The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee canceled a week of airtime in Rep. Allen West’s (R-Fla.) district starting Oct. 9, according to multiple sources tracking the buy.”
- NC-08: “The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee canceled a second week of advertising in Kissell’s 8th district. Roll Call has learned that the DCCC’s independent expenditure arm canceled a reservation for advertising in the Charlotte media market from Oct. 9-15. This comes after the DCCC canceled a reservation from Oct. 2-8, as first reported by Roll Call.“
- WI-08 (not WI-07): “The Service Employees International Union [NOT the DCCC – ML] has canceled a previously scheduled television ad buy in support of businessman Jamie Wall’s (D) challenge of Rep. Reid Ribble (R).”
Nonetheless: good news for the Republican House majority. Whether the Democrats like to admit it or not, not having the money to protect one beleaguered incumbent and challenge two House freshmen is rarely good news.
Well, it’s rarely good news for the party without the money. I imagine that the GOP finds this very good news indeed.

Doom. It’s what’s for breakfast.
The GOP “long shot” I’m watching is whether Joe Walsh (R, tea party) can hang onto his seat against Tammy Duckworth (D, carpetbagger)…
The district is .. interesting. I think, 5 years ago, Duckworth could have defeated Walsh. Now, I’m not convinced, but much is going to turn on the Tea Party GOTV.
