1. Buying John Boehner Has Not Been Cheap ( R ) Representative

Boehner (R-Ohio) plans to announce Wednesday that he raised nearly $7 million in the third quarter of the year ending Sept. 30, according to data shared first with The Washington Post. That brings Boehner's total campaign fundraising to more than $98 million over the course of the current two-year campaign cycle, exceeding the $97 million he raised during the entire 2012 cycle and nearly doubling what he raised ahead of the 2010 midterm elections.
