DSCC reserves $2.6 million in NV TV time on behalf of Reid for final two weeks

[WI_DEM]

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has reserved more than $2.6 million in Nevada TV time on behalf of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is running neck-and-neck with his Republican challenger Sharron Angle.

The DSCC reserved nearly $1.27 million next week and more than $1.36 million for the final week of the election, according to a GOP source who tracks media buys.

The DSCC would not comment on the buy.

Both Reid and Angle, a former state Assemblywoman, have been constants on the airwaves for the past several months. Angle's third quarter fundraising take of more than $14 million, which her campaign announced yesterday, showed how that was possible.

Reid began July with a large fundraising edge and was expected to have plenty to cover the state in advertising, which he has done. He has yet to report how much he raised last quarter.

Despite the onslaught of ads, polling shows the race continues to be close. Nearly every poll since July has found the two running within the margin of error.
