Tweety: The RNC has pulled all it's funds out of Pennsylvania (Santorum)

[sabra]

Anyone else hear that? It seems like the RNC believe Santorum's reelection is a lost cause, and decided to pull all funds.

[Flirtus]

1. please oh please be true, and truly mean what I think!

[Sydnie]

2. Didn't they just do that to Dewine too?

:rofl: Look out Ford, they're coming for you.

[BootinUp]

12. No shit,

If Ford pulls this out, it will be minor miracle.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Tennessee is one place their money would be better spent

I saw something about Montana tightening up, but I hope that's not true.

Missouri is one they could still win.

Virginia is tight, so Felix might benfit from some extra cash.

How's New Jersey going? I know Memendez really isn't popular there.

Of course, there's the de facto GOP senate candidate in Connecticut.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Montana is tight but Burns hasn't led in a single poll since Tester won the primary

Plus some polls still have Tester ahead by 7. If the election were held today I would be extremely surprised if Burns won.

3. Problem: They Moved Their Money to NJ to Use Against Menendez

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Then the DNC should just throw MILLIONS to Menendez.

We can't lose that seat.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. It's a feint

Every election Rove pretends that he thionks they can win in New Jersey, and every election, he's "wrong." I don't see it happening, regardless of ads. Menendez by 5-6% and everybody really knows it. They'll funnel some money into NJ to keep the Dems on the defensive in Virginia and Tennessee. The real fights are in Virginia and Tennessee. Pennsylvania is done with, almost. It would take a dead girl scandal for Casey to lose to the Senator from Virginia at this point.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. I wish I could throw some monies to Ford

I have nothing to spare right now. This Ford run is looking hot.

SOAB!

[Justice Is Comin]

14. And the ad buys for the Menendez market are so expensive

it would break them in no time. New York teevee time purchases will eat them alive.

Plus they're hemorrhaging in almost every race in the country. Candidates are hounding them everywhere. :nopity:

[Zynx]

18. (Large) waste of money. Throwing RNC $$$ into NYC and Philly.

Kean has a better shot than Santorum does, but the overwhelming majority of people who watch those adds hate Republicans.

[C_U_L8R]

5. beware of fakes

i won't believe a thing until santorum is
packing the U-Haul with his senatorial knickknacks
and comic book collection. C_U_L8R Rick !!!

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. He doesn't have to pack a U-haul

He already lives in Virginia...

:rofl:

[C_U_L8R]

10. touché !!!!!

skewered like a neo-kabob

[Captain Hilts]

7. Let's say "The RNC has withdrawn from Santorum." nt

[valerief]

19. Now that's a good one. nt

[Hippo_Tron]

24. Santorum is after all, Latin for asshole

[napi21]

9. They did that over a week ago. They did the same with the

DeWine campaign in Ohio.

[UTUSN]

11. Wow but like Tweety can be TRUSTED!!11 n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

16. I think he can be trusted with facts

When he tries to give his point of view, he always acts like he's doing gymnastics not to look too far to the right or to the left. That impresses me mopre as posturing than havin any real point of view.

[UTUSN]

17. Neh. He just wants to be a power broker. No principles. nt

[RamboLiberal]

20. Yes - as another poster pointed out they pulled out over a week

ago. Also Santorum has gone dark on network TV, he's doing minimal ad buys on cable. His ads have virtually disappeared from radio & TV in at least my part of PA - Pittsburgh area.

[Captain Hilts]

25. They "pulled out?" You said it, not I.... nt

[Mr_Spock]

21. Oh, please say it's so!

I am hoping all this deception about "pulling funds" has no effect on this election. It's a method to motivate their base to put in more time, but it also may be a true threat.

[NightOwwl]

22. Did anyone else hear Tweety 's followup remark?

I swear he said "That's a good thing." I replayed it twice to make sure.

Sounded like Tweety was relieved that Santorum wasn't going to get any more funding.

26. Chuck Shumer said it at a press conference. On stage with Elizabeth

Dole, the GOP Senatorial Campaign chair, Shumer's revelation made her turn beet red. "Dizzy" Liddy was so gracious at the beginning of the press conference but was flattened after that.

It was on C-SPAN.
