No North Carolina Dist. on DCCC Top-Tier Hit List

According to Chris Cilizza, no congressional race in North Carolina has yet made the grade for targeted spending by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The DCCC has made TV ad-time buys totaling some $20 million and covering 11 media markets and 14 congressional districts, none of them in the Old North State.

Mind you, this is Rahm Emmanuel's decision, not Howard Dean's.

You can go to the site above and see where the money's flowing.
