DCCC cancels first week of ad buy for Wetterling, DSCC cancels two weeks of ad time for Klobuchar

The public file at WCCO-TV and KARE-11 says the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has canceled the first week of their ad buy on behalf of Patty Wetterling. The DCCC canceled the ad buy before the scandal involving former Florida Congressman Mark Foley. The DCCC still has ad time scheduled for the three weeks before the election. As you know, the NRCC is currently running ads on behalf of Republican Michele Bachmann. Wetterling, Bachmann and Independence Party member John Binkowski are running for Congress in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has canceled two weeks of ad time on behalf of Amy Klobuchar. They still have time scheduled for the last two weeks of the campaign. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is not scheduled to run tv ads on behalf of Republican Mark Kennedy at this time.
