Pols is speculating that the NRSC may be set to abandon Bob Schaffer's failing campaign in a move to save some of their endangered incumbents in other states. It's true enough that the Republicans have a very serious cash disadvantage, a terrible environment for their candidates, and a host of endangered incumbents. Pols lists three races where the incumbent is in trouble: 1) MN, where Franken now leads Coleman; 2) NC, where Hagan now leads Dole; and 3) KY, where Lunsford is rapidly closing on McConnell. But there's also GA, where Chambliss is in a dead heat with Martin. And OR, where Smith is now trailing Merkley. And AK, where Stevens is trailing Begich. In MS, Musgrove is giving Wicker a run for his money. In TX, Noriega has been closing the gap big-time on Cornyn. And there are even signs that Allen may be closing on Collins in ME. The strategy of the NRSC at this point has to be: fall-back, regroup, and choose the best spots they can to concentrate their efforts and try and hold off the Democrats from gaining the a 60-seat majority, which seems more and more possible every day.
