House Dems' Committee: No, We're Not Buying Ads In Massachusetts Senate Race

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- the Dems' campaign arm for House races -- is denying an allegation from a right-wing blogger that they are spending money on the Senate race in Massachusetts.

Earlier today, Erick Erickson alleged that the DCCC had purchased advertising for the Senate race, declaring it "rather unheard of" and stating that it had campaign finance implications. "Why would House Democrats be spending their precious resources on someone running for the United States Senate?" Erickson wrote. "Because they know it would destroy Nancy Pelosi's agenda to have Scott Brown in the Senate."

"The DCCC did not purchase any advertising for this Senate race," DCCC spokesman Ryan Rudominer told TPMDC. The DCCC did send out an e-mail to its supporter list, asking people to sign up to volunteer for Democratic candidate Martha Coakley. However, there is no link to donate money to Coakley, and the DCCC says they've not bought advertising.
