[QUOTE="donner, post: 3001052, member: 277"] Thanks. It wont let me look at the whole article, but the part i can see says "Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff raised a staggering $23.9 million for his special election today – nearly five times the contributions to his GOP opponent, Karen Handel. Yet total spending on the race is near parity, thanks to supportive Republican groups..." if you have the full text, i'd love to see it. From what i've seen the money the 'candidate' spent fits your numbers, but that is just a fraction of the spending on both sides. When you include money that didn't flow through the candidate, it becomes a much closer number. Here is an excerpt from from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, talking about outside groups spending money on the race. ([URL]http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/19/the-race-for-georgias-6th-district-now-costs-more-than-50m/[/URL]) "In all, left-leaning groups and Ossoff combined for about $2 million more in ad spending than Handel and conservative allies during the runoff phase. On the GOP side, two groups accounted for the lion’s share of spending. The National Republican Congressional Committee shelled out more than $6.7 million on ads in the race. And the Congressional Leadership Fund – a super PAC with ties to Speaker Paul Ryan – spent about $5 million on airtime. The group said it spent another $2 million on other costs, including a field operation aiming to target 300,000 voters by Tuesday. Two other conservative groups – America First Policies and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – each chipped in at least $1 million more." Again, i'm not saying it was a huge victory for the dems, but it wasn't a crushing defeat, either. Both sides spent a lot money (which came from a variety of places) and it was a fight all around to hold onto a previously solid GOP seat. [/QUOTE]
