I agree. Put the $$$ where it will make a difference.
It's not that simple. If you shift money out of MN and WA, that lets the D's do the same, nullifying the effect.
And this won't hurt McGavick, or at least it shouldn't. The entire story essentially says "He told the truth, he just didn't explain all the crass details," which nobody should be expected to do.
That said, I've never thought McGavick is going to win. He's already made it a better race then I thought he would.
