From National Journal:

Democrats are showing the clearest sign yet of concern ahead of next Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 9th District – the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is going up on air with an expensive television buy in the campaign’s closing days.

According to buy information obtained by Hotline On Call, the DCCC has made a $483,500 TV ad buy in the district, starting tomorrow through Monday. The broadcast TV buy will not air on September 11, the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Democratic … PAC, House Majority PAC, has also bought advertising time in the district as well…

If blue districts in New York are under threat, then how is the rest of the country going?  The Democrats don’t want to start next week with the loss of a House seat…it would just be too grand a demonstration that their programs are failing and thus it is time to follow a new course.  So, they are pouring in the money – and given the Democrats registration edge, I suspect it will be enough to pull out a win.  But if it winds up close, even if the Democrat wins it will still be a harbinger of what is to come next year.
