PA-12: Critz sitting on $263K

Rep. Mark Critz, D-Murtha, had a brisk fundraising quarter in his rematch against Republican Tim Burns, bringing in $478,000. He spent about $382,000 on folksy biographical ads, among other things, and has $263,000 left for the final weeks. (Burns' Q3 numbers are not yet up.)

Also found in today's filings: A committee called the "Critz-Dahlkemper Victory Fund," probably created for the Joe Biden joint fund-raiser last week. We can't yet see how much was raised there, because it was after Sept. 30, but it seems like instead of an even split the campaigns will have a joint fund that one can tap more into if needed.
