The Center for Responsive Politics is reporting that Lynn Jenkins raised $1,371,315 in this year's race for Congress. Jenkins is reported to have spent $847,838. On what did she spend all that money? I live in Kansas' Second Congressional District and I can't see where it went.

Meanwhile Jenkins' Democratic opponent Cheryl Hudspeth raised all of $12,075 and spent $11,756.

Over in the Third Congressional District Stephene Ann Moore has been locked in a real battle with Kevin W. Yoder. Yoder raised $1,677,029 and spent $1,465,910 compared to Moore raising $851,044 and spending $840,377.

I can see where Mrs. Moore spent her money. She has gone toe to toe with Mr. Yoder in a mega media battle. In the waning days of this year's race Ms. Jenkins began to sprinkle a few television ads here and there. In no way, shape, manner, or form has she penetrated the media markets in a fashion similar to Stephene Moore. Yet she outspent Moore by $7,011.

Am I looking forward to the full accounting? You betcha!
