Its good to be the incumbant. Interesting that Murphy has roughly the same amount left that Johnson has. I haven't seen many of his ads, so it'll be interesting to see what he does with the remaining dough.

Look at the hoard of money Lieberman has left. First off, $6M in the quarter? Second off, $4M in cash on hand? I think we're going to see a lot more of the "how does Ned Lamont run his business" ad a whole bunch more (which, according to the Courant was factually incorrect).

Farrell had a surprisingly weak performance given her strong 2Q fundraising. That is a sign that she may have peaked, and that is not good for her chances.

Johnson has spent all that money and has not gotten anywhere.

Johnson is in desperation mode. After reading this story in the Courant this weekend, you have to wonder what she's thinking.

Farrell and Murphy have huge cash-on-hand, certainly enough to make that last minute surge in their Republicanish districts. It's unbelievable that Murphy's at effective cash parity w/Johnson -- how in the Sam Hell Houston has she burned through $1.6 million with no net gain?

What's a bit surprising is Courtney's cash-on-hand, which is an anaemic fourth of Simmons'. That said, polls are looking for Courtney and he may have already made his major GOTV media buys.

All that money isn't going to buy Murphy a new record either.

The headline story in today's Meriden Record was the problems with Murphy's latest add.

Murphy might actually be better off with less money than to hurt his chances with adds that are so easily challenged.
