Latham Makes a $1.5 Milliion T.V. Purchase

The Hill says this reserve of air time is a reflection of the power of newly spawned Super Pacs but as we have talked about this could be a reflection that he is running against a strong opponent. The Hill also missed the theory of diminishing returns for an incumbent. It would be interesting to do the same analysis for Latham's new district as I did with the 4th to see if this new district is really a "swing" district. The 4th had been called competetive but my research has found the voting record in house races very partisan.
