The money coming in from all over the country doesn't bother me when it's a campaign for the House or Senate. Rep. and Sen. votes both impact the entire country. What bothers me is when money from anywhere except the state, county or city shows up in local government races. Money from California has no business paying for State Senate seats like what happened in Alaska a few elections back. I think it was a Republican getting money from all over the country for a State Senate seat, but I'm not sure.

I keep seeing 0-5 but it's 1-4. The CA one was a Dem replacing a Dem. A republican didn't even qualify for the general.

There's two more. The Alabama senatorial election that Sessions went unopposed in and Chaffetz (sp?) seat he won by 50%. They'll go red.

In terms of status quo, it'll remain the same. 6 republican seats replaced by republicans and 1 democratic seat replaced by a democrat.
