Today, the DSCC made some pretty unsurprising expenditures. They cut ads against Republicans John Raese, W.Va., Linda McMahon, Conn., Ken Buck, Colo., and Rand Paul, Ky. They also made a $576,000 ad buy against Dino Rossi.

The DCCC’s most notable ad buys, on the other hand, go to a handful of districts which, with a few exceptions, probably no one would have expected a month ago:

• $110,000 against Tim Burns in PA-12
• $106,000 against Scott Bruun in OR-5
• $132,000 against Jon Barela in NM-1
• $113,000 against Randy Demmer in MN-1
• $100,000 against David McKinley in WV-1
• $66,000 against Bill Johnson in OH-6
• $32,000 against Ruth McClung in AZ-7
