Super PACs Keep Democrats Competitive in Key Senate Races

“Strong fundraising by Democrats and their allies–including a formidable super PAC run by people close to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid –is helping the party remain competitive in Senate races where many other factors favor Republican candidates,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The Democratic fundraising has allowed the party and its allies to run more TV advertisements than Republicans in the first two weeks of September in nine of the 10 top Senate races this fall… The Democrats’ edge in TV ads of late is due partly to a string of super PACs that have ramped up their efforts in the past two months.”
