Republicans are canceling TV ad spending planned for the final two weeks of Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, signaling that the GOP is investing in other races in its drive for the Senate majority.

Precisely! You want Conservatives to win? Donate to Conservative candidates like Land Why do you care where the “GOPe” spends their money? You don’t support ‘em anyway, right?
Put up or shut up and stop whining.

Land isn’t really hurting as far as money is concerned but as someone else pointed out about this move, “The optics are terrible”.
Its like telling the voters not to bother.
Unfortunately that’s what the Democrats are doing to us. Remember all of those stories about the record number of fundraisers Obama was attending...over and over again...these last couple of years? Yeah, the Dem campaign committees all have an enormous cash advantage because of that.
There are multiple conservative campaign committees - on the thread about the cash advantage for the Democrats (thanks to Obama’s never ending fundraising spree) there are comments about how it is the fault of the GOPe that the GOP campaign committees didn’t have as much cash as their Dem counterparts for supposedly chasing off conservatives...then do groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund have comparatively millions in additional cash to run ads which would take up the slack? Nope...if we’ve got it, it needs to be given - we don’t have to give it to NRCC or NRSC - there are other places for it to go - directly to candidates or these other committees.
Don’t know why the GOP-E needs to pull any ads at all. Flush with impending victory after getting all its “electable” candidates nominated, it’s just a matter of time before Karl Rove is in full on party mode.

Terri Lynn Land’s campaign strategists need to be horsewhipped if she loses this race. She’s won statewide twice.
I support individual candidates only.
