Republican Funding Surge Provides Crucial Advantage

Fueled by a surge of outside money, Republicans have begun gunning for Democratic House seats once considered safe and beyond GOP reach -- a drive that threatens to reshape the electoral map and raises the specter of a historic rout in the midterm election two weeks away.

Advocacy groups such as American Crossroads and the American Action Network said last week that they were funneling more than $50 million into House races to back Republican candidates, on top of the more than $50 million already spent by the GOP's House campaign arm.
