ELECTION TRACKER PREDICTS $2.6B IN SPENDING
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
According to the Center for Responsive Politics projections, candidates, parties, and advocacy groups will have spent $2.6 billion by the end of 2006 to try to get their respective candidates elected in 472 federal contests or building up the war chests of Senate incumbents who get to sit this one out. That's the most expensive midterm ever.
