16 Percent

That's how much of their cash on hand that the National Republican Campaign Committee has spent on the OH-05 special election.

That's already a victory. And tomorrow, Robin Weirauch might get a real one.

(I suppose that the Republicans could blame this on a bad candidate, and claim that the recent Massachusetts special election that put Nikki Tsongas in the House was close, too, but the difference is that didn't cost the DCCC 16% of their cash on hand. In fact, I don't think it cost them a dime.)
