Senate Republicans Shuffle Campaign Priorities

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is pulling back its ads in New Mexico and Missouri and investing heavily in North Dakota, where the GOP is facing an unexpectedly difficult fight to pick up an open Senate seat, Politico reports.

The campaign arm of the Senate GOP is “canceling its ads in New Mexico, where Democrat Martin Heinrich appears to be pulling ahead of Republican Heather Wilson, and Missouri, where Rep. Todd Akin’s comments about abortion and rape have damaged his campaign and caused national Republicans to flee the state.”
