GOP reins in spending in 3 House races

WASHINGTON - Signaling retreat, House Republicans are scaling back television advertising in three highly contested races, officials said Tuesday, including Rep. Curt Weldon's bid for an 11th term in Pennsylvania and open seats in Colorado and Ohio.

...snip...

In contrast to the Republican strategic retreat, House Democrats are expanding the number of districts where they are advertising, an indication of confidence that the election is moving their way. In recent days, they have moved into districts in Kansas and Nebraska that have long been in GOP hands.

Weldon, a 10-term lawmaker, has become ensnared in a federal corruption investigation. It appeared that much of the advertising money the National Republican Congressional Committee had intended for his seat in the campaign's final days would be redirected to help Reps. Michael Fitzpatrick and Jim Gerlach.

The two other races where Republicans are scaling back advertising include the Ohio district that convicted Rep. Bob Ney has represented, and the one Rep. Bob Beauprez vacated to run for governor of Colorado.

4. Cut your losses time. Too bad for pubbies but the money ain't going

to help them elsewhere either unless they plan to focus on GOTV. Then it might help them save a couple of seats.

5. Rumor has it, that Cheney ...

had a shreading company at his VP offices this past weekend.

Do you think they are trying to shread evidence before the Dems take over?
It's not a far-fetched idea.

6. It's what happened with Poppy and "Iraqgate" in '92.

But I think it was the day after Clinton won.
