The Post reports the race has gotten "significant investments" from another outside Republican group, the Congressional Leadership Fund.

Roll Call reports that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has cut ad buys in the 4th district-- for Vilsack-- in the same week. Roll Call reports the reduction comes in races the DCCC believes "look like steep climbs in November."
