WATCH: Day Before Election, Goddard "Mad As Hell"

Not sure if this is web-only or up on the air.  Nevertheless, we are posting it here because it is fascinating to see Democratic gubernatorial nominee (and current AG) Terry Goddard "mad as hell" on the day before the election. (If Gov. Jan Brewer is "mad as hell" after the oral arguments on SB1070 this a.m., we will post those, as well!)

FOLLOWING MONEY IN ARIZONA'S POLITICS: Last Weekend Expenditures In the Federal Races; DCCC Unveils New Ad Vs. Gosar

There were a LOT of independent expenditure reports filed with the Federal Election Commission this weekend.  But, next to none reflected last minute money coming to Arizona races.

The big Arizona buy was the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ("DCCC") plunking down $3,440.44 for production of an ad against GOP challenger Paul Gosar, and a media buy of $34,725.70.  The DCCC would appear to still be interested in protecting first-term Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick.

In other (small) news:
--The League of Conservation Voters and the SEIU each spent about $10,000 on GOTV phone calls for Rep. Raul Grijalva (Dem., CD7).
--On the other side of the aisle, Freedomworks PAC spent $20,103.17 for signs and $439.83 for door hangers to support GOP challenger Ruth McClung (CD7).
--And, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund has continued to devote a portion of four staffers' time to defending Grijalva, for a total of about $2,200.00.

WATCH: Current Hybrid (Negative/Positive) Mitchell Ad Vs. Schweikert

This current ad is running in heavy rotation against GOP nominee David Schweikert and for Democratic incumbent Harry Mitchell (CD5).  It starts by attacking Schweikert for audits of the Maricopa County Treasurer's Office and his purchasing of foreclosed-upon home.  It ends with Mitchell talking about his actions in Congress (stopping pay raise, etc.)

WATCH: NRCC Ad Vs. Rep. Harry Mitchell (Debt Ticker)

Here's the ad that the NRCC is running in heavy rotation against Rep. Harry Mitchell in CD5, on behalf of their nominee David Schweikert.  It features several of the same, stock challengeable claims about the stimulus and healthcare reform bills that FactCheck and Politifact have refuted elsewhere.

WATCH: Horne's 15-Second Ad Attacking Rotellini's Union Support

Here is a 15-second ad that Tom Horne (Repub.) is running in the final days of the campaign for Attorney General.  It accuses Democratic nominee Felecia Rotellini of being supported by the "liberal union bosses" who are advocating "open borders" and a boycott of Arizona, and saying that the apparently-illegal CFJF/DAGA ads are funded by those unions.

WATCH: Hulburd Ad For Final Days Of Campaign, Suggesting Quayle Belongs In Frat House - Not House of Congress

Here's the ad that Jon Hulburd (Dem.) is running against GOP nominee Ben Quayle in the battle for the CD3 seat being vacated by John Shadegg.  It raises several of the character-related issues that Hulburd has been hammering on:

WATCH: Goddard Ad - Schooling the Federal Government

Here's the Goddard commercial on air in the final days of the campaign:

Here are the ads I have seen Sunday/Monday a.m.:
