Clarion-Ledger editorial 
<http://www.clarionledger.com/story/opinion/editorials/2014/07/27/mcdaniel-challenge-or-quit/13182667/>: 
"He continues to say he has evidence of voter fraud, but McDaniel is 
starting to sound more like Chicken Little yelling about the sky falling 
than the respected state lawmaker and GOP candidate who captured 
national attention when this race first began."

    "Outside Money Drives a Deluge of Political Ads"

Must-read NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/28/us/politics/deluge-of-political-ads-is-driven-by-outside-money.html?ref=politics&_r=0>:

    An explosion of spending on political advertising on television ---
    set to break $2 billion in congressional races, with overall spots
    up nearly 70 percent since the 2010 midterm election --- is
    accelerating the rise of moneyed interests and wresting control from
    the candidates' own efforts to reach voters.

    In the first full midterm cycle where outside groups have developed
    a sophisticated infrastructure, the consequences are already
    becoming apparent: a harshly negative tone dictated by the groups
    and a nearly nonstop campaign season that could cause voters to tune
    out before Election Day.
