If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out." -noah calhoun

Congressional candidates participating in the November 7, 2006 general election have raised $1.14 billion and spent $965.7 million in the current two-year period, according to a compilation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) from financial reports through October 18, 2006. This represents an increase of 30% in receipts and 36% in disbursements over the comparable period in 2004.
