Given limited funds which is most important Congress or Senate?

I will donate to one or two other state's candidates in tigght races but not sure whether to support Senate candidate or House candidates. Which one if we have to choose would be best or stand the best chance of winning. I am leaning towards Senate candidates because they run statewide and not just special gerrymandered precincts but not sure. :shrug: Opinions???

1. Donate to The One Who Needs The Money The Most

Probably on the House side.

4. Aren't we being picky? Did you not understand my question?

The sun rises in the east also. Did you know the sun doesn't rise at all, just sits there and the earth revolves around it?

5. Senate will be harder to get, IMO

PA, MT - very likely dem gains
MO, OH, RI - possible dem gains
TN - possible, but very difficult dem gain
VA - unlikely dem gain, but I am happy it is even considered competitive at all
NJ - best chance for a repub pick up

9. Your Dime Would Probably Be Stretched Further From A House Candidate In

need than a Senate candidate. But in the end it's a great thing that you're donating no matter who you are doing it for. Just find the candidate that you think needs it the most or you believe in the most and go for it. I would say House more than Senate, but donating to either would be fine. :)

10. I agree with OMC , many House races are in dire need of funds.

Serious Senatorial Candidates tend to have somewhat better financial backing, but their races cost more on the average, as well. I know many House Candidates are literally operating on a shoestring right now & would be profoundly grateful for your aid.
