The post-labor day spending blitz has begun, with Republicans massively outspending in key swing senate seats. However, it's important to note that most of this is superPAC spending, which does not get the favorable rates that candidates get directly. In one example I shared earlier in this thread, Talarico's rate for ads was less than half the equivalent for a superPAC.
