CO-Sen: NRSC Pulls Out

After days of rumors, Ambinder confirms it -- the NRSC is retreating from Colorado:

Republican sources in Colorado and Washington say that the National Republican Senatorial Committee plans to pull out of the state by next week, an acknowledgment that its independent expenditure resources would be better spent on defense elsewhere. [...]
The NRSC is still helping Roger Wicker in Mississippi and incumbents Norm Coleman in Minnesota, John Sununu in New Hampshire.
AN NRSC spokesperson said that advertising decisions are made on a week-to-week basis and declined to comment further.

How do you like them apples, Dick Wadhams?

This decision comes on the heels of the party's move to cut the cord on dud candidate John Kennedy in Louisiana in order to play more defense. Will it be too little, too late to prevent catastrophic damage?

I don't see NC on the list

Has the NRSC stopped funding Dole in NC?

I don't believe so

I think I saw an advertisement for Dole paid by the NRSC during lunch today. The GOP have historically been stronger in NC in Senate and Presidential races, while the Democrats usually are more successful in state elections.

As a whole, NC Democrats tend to be more moderate, and it takes a "moderate" approach to swing the election to a Democrat for Senator. Back in 1998, Edwards won by running a campaign that showed a glimpse of a Conservative. Edwards even told his audience that he probably would vote more with Helms than against Helms' position.
