#3 took in 2 spent 2.1? Seems runs his campaign the way he runs congress. I'm glad that his campaign doesn't have access to the treasury. (yeah, right)

#7 opensecrets.org is safe. I use them during elections to who funds the candidates.

I just connected using both http:/ and https:/ w/o any warnings. Firefox 3.6.

#8 Reid will probably try to sell this as part of his plan to stimulate the economy. I don't think there is enough money to get him re-elected. The people are on to him.

#9 All that $15Mil he raised in '09 is a result of the 'power' he has as senate leader. He is unlikeable and arrogant, and all that $$ isn't going to change that. The only way he wins is 'cheating' or a scandal against his opponent (a-la 2004 Illinois senate election)
