“...They’re pulling out because Land is down by 10 points and there are other, winnable races that could use the money.”

Perhaps, but why would they lie if that’s their real reason? Yes, I know the NRSC is accustomed to lying. But the NRSC and the GOPe have a history of minimally supporting true conservative candidates while going “all in” for more “progressive” candidates.
Because saying, "We're pulling out because we thing it's a lost cause" doesn't go over well. If there are buckets of outside money coming in then it would mean that Land still has a chance; nobody but nobody is going to invest big bucks in a futile attempt. If Land still had a chance then the NRSC wouldn't have pulled out. Iowa, Arkansas, Colorado are all races where the Republican has a real shot. I'd bet that the money is already on its way there.
