It seems like every year we hear stories about how X campaign is more expensive than any X race in history, but that may never ring more true than in 2008. According to CQ Politics, Democrats in CD-2 represent three of the five biggest fundraisers for open house seats in the entire country:

1) Jared Polis Democrat, Colorado’s 2nd District: $828,000 ( Mark Udall , Democrat)

2) Joan Fitz-Gerald, Democrat, Colorado’s 2nd District: $624,000 ( Mark Udall , Democrat)

3) Chris Lauzen, Republican, Illinois’ 14th District: $546,000 ( J. Dennis Hastert , Republican)

4) Bill Foster, Democrat, Illinois’ 14th District: $541,000 ( J. Dennis Hastert , Republican)

5) Will Shafroth, Democrat, Colorado’s 2nd District: $509,000 ( Mark Udall , Democrat)
