The National Republican Senatorial Committee has cut the last of its TV advertising that it reserved for Republican candidate Terri Lynn Land in the Michigan race for U.S. Senate, according to The Hill.
The independent expenditure arm for the NRSC has decided to cut its remaining television reservations in the race meaning it is pulling over $850,000 out of Michigan.
It’s yet another sign of how a race that Republicans once touted as a potential pickup has slipped through their fingers. Polling has shown Rep. Gary Peters (MI), the Democratic nominee in the race, leading Land.
Republicans stressed to The Hill that the move was not really a sign of Republicans calling it quits, rather it was just a reallocation of resources because of Land’s strong ground game as well as her fundraising.
At the end of June Land had $4.8 million in the bank and raised $8.6 million, $2.9 million of which was her own money. Peters meanwhile, had $3.3 million at the end of June and raised almost $7 million.
The TPM Polltracker gives Peters a 9.1 point lead over Land.
“$2.9 million of which was her own money”
I guess when it comes to believing that elected offices can and should be purchasable, rich men and women aren’t so different after all.
Yeah, Land isn’t losing, so STOP SAYING IT. We’re pulling our resources because she’s winning so hard. You guys don’t even know. I’d explain it but you probably wouldn’t get it. Just watch as she wins. Don’t look at polls though, they’re biased. I swear, you guys, she’s gonna crush Peters cuz Obummer.

As we all know, we have our math but the GOP has THE math.
Benghazi!!!
She still has a few SuperPACs helping her…but yeah, she’ll go down anyway. Teehee.
BTW, Peters latest ad is kind of endearing… Its been running lately quite a bit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njz0Dqc0EbUThis race did not slip through the repubs fingers. Land is one of the worst candidates we have seen in a long time. Just putting up a woman is not going to mean a repub win. Repubs must think we here in Michigan are stupid. Land is a Koch sucker. She was against the auto loans and against women making the same as men. She has been hiding for months and won’t debate. I consider her a traitor to her gender like I do all women who vote repub.
Gary Peters will make an excellent Senator. Now if only we could get rid of Gov Synder. In the papers this morning they have him up 8 points over Dem Schaurer. That sucks condering all the bad that Synder and the RWNJs in Lansing have done to us.
