Where Has all the Cash Gone?

According to Opensecrets.com 44 Million dollars have gone into the coffers of Hillary Clinton Senator from New York, 11 Million dollars have gone to Dianne Feinstein Senator from California, another 11 Million dollars to Ted Kennedy Senator from Massachusetts. Think about that for a while, 66 million dollars go to defending safe seats where their opponents have rased a combined 5 million dollars. To defend Democratic Stronholds of California, New York and Mass, we have to get a fundraising advantage of about about 13:1.

Talent Senator from MO has outspent McCaskill about 6:1 as of Augest 17th. He has out fundraised her about 5:1. Burns Senator from MT has outspent Tester by about 4:1 and has 4 times the amout of cash on hand. Allen Senator from VA has out spent Webb by 8:1 and has more then 10 times the amout of cash on hand.

66 Million dollars, we could move say 50 million dollars from the Incumbents and give it to the challangers. That still gives the incumbents a 3:1 spending advantage. But since a good portion of the 66 Million has been spent we now need to re-direct funds from the coffers of the wealthy Incumbands to the hands of the important challangers.
