'Unprecedented' Cash Pouring Into Matheson-Love Race

Mia Love is trying to unseat an incumbent Congressman
From Deseret News: "Extraordinary amounts of outside money for television attack ads are pouring into the heated battle for Utah's 4th Congressional District seat. Groups backing Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson and Republican Mia Love have taken to the airwaves in earnest to sway voters in what political observers expect to be a tight race on Election Day. Political action committees on both sides jumped headlong into the fray, spending nearly $1 million on television ads this month alone."

Apparently their ads are on during every single TV break, and sometimes two per break: "'There's about $2 million in attack ads coming up against us so we're going to make sure we do everything we can to stay on TV,' said Mia Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs. 'I pose a little bit of a problem for Barack Obama and his liberal agenda, so there's a lot of money coming into this campaign. There are a lot of liberal outside groups that do not want to see me in Washington.'"
