He's had some pretty noticeable (albeit kinda silly) ads lately and the few polls released do show his numbers rising.

For what it's worth (not much), Parnell would win the race if it had the same swing that happened in KS-04.

That's good Democrats need to compete even in races said to be 'unwinnable', Democrats should take every opportunity for a win.

Limited resources.  Unlimited want.

Well, there's a finite number of House districts and it's clear than an excess of donor funds have been going to the presidential race over and above what actually moves votes.  Kerry, Romney and Hillary Clinton all outraised their opponents.  Maybe a more efficient use of donor funds is to contest every district in the land downballot?  Or at least every US House and state legislative district where Trump/Clinton got less than 60% last year?

Not to pile on in light of your caveat, but SC is for obvious reasons (cough! race! cough!) considerably less elastic than most non-southern states.

I think the DCCC screw the pooch in Kansas, and not entirely no hindsight is 20-20 type of way. Considering the margin of victory in Montana even after the assault comma I guess they were right to not invest their resources there.

So while I am not about to vouch for the DCCC strategic sense, there's got to be something Brewing if they're dropping over a quarter million on this race

KS-04 results did not surprise me at all.

Midwestern districts are extremely elastic. The route to Speaker Pelosi will likely come from the Midwest and sun belt districts with favorable demographics such as GA-06.

Of course the Goldman Sachs lackey gets funded instead of progressives.

To play devil's advocate, the DCCC gave similar amounts of money to Quist, so this is probably more of a pity investment than Montana.
