Has the DCCC decided not to invest any cash in television ads targeting Chris "Count" Chocola? The Count seems to be among the more vulnerable incumbent Republican House members in the country, with recent polls giving challenger Joe Donnelly (D) a slight lead. But buried in today's rundown on $51 million in planned Dem ad spending in The Hill, we find this:

Notably absent from the DCCC list were Republican Reps. Chris Chocola (Ind.), who is considered one of the GOP’s most vulnerable incumbents, and Anne Northup (Ky.), whose Louisville district has been a perpetual target for congressional Democrats. (Emphasis added.)

In 2004, the DCCC offered Donnelly no support, but this cycle in July the DCCC did run a radio ad against Chocola that accused him favoring energy companies over voters. So is the DCCC taking a pass on targeting the Count in its current ad blitz, and if so, why?
