“Republican candidates for the Senate have overcome the sizable fund-raising edge held by their Democratic opponents for most of the 2014 election cycle… outraising or matching Democrats in races that will decide control of the Senate and entering the final weeks of the campaign with ample cash,” the New York Times reports.
“Republican candidates and “super PACs” are now splurging on expensive last-minute advertising, at a time when polling shows Republicans increasingly more likely to win control of the Senate. The question is whether the last-minute money, raised in the three months ending Sept. 30, is coming too late.”
