The DCCC, meanwhile, came late to McNerney’s side after having backed someone else in the Democratic primary, but in the general campaign’s final weeks ended up spending about $2 million to help put him over the top.

Actually, the number was about 1/10 of that — try $216,000. McNerney can only hope that the DCCC will ride to his rescue in this cycle, since he’s alienated most of the grassroots that supported him in 2006.
