"No. But that's because they don't have any money. They just don't."-- Virginia U.S. Senate candidate Jim Gilmore (R), when asked by the Wall Street Journal if he's had any support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee or any other Republican organizations.
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nevada) head of the National Republican Senate Committee, identified the 10 most competitive races in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Alaska, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Virginia. Two - Virginia and New Mexico - are heavily favored at this point to flip to Democratic control. Asked if the NRSC was mulling walking away from these two races to focus resources elsewhere, Ensign was non-committal, but added, "You don't waste money on races that don't need it or you can't win."
