election 2006: curiosities
From what I’ve gathered, the Republican National Committee and Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee has essentially conceded the Senate races states of Pennsylvania, Montana, and Rhode Island — or at least left those incumbent Senators to fend for themselves — and is throwing the bulk of its resources behind the Tennessee, Missouri, Ohio, and — the Senate seats where the natural Republican to Democratic advantage should make a partisan appeal sans Bush work. It is “salvage the wreckage” time
The irony that I pick up here is that the RNC and RSCC had already thrown huge resources behind Lincoln Chafee’s primary campaign to try to save that seat. Which means that they now believe they just wasted a bunch of money during the Summer. Go figure.
