NRSC Moves Its Money to Six Senate Races Money talks and in politics it practically screams. The NRSC is doing its talking by shifting its resources to the six states that it thinks will determine control of the Senate. These are Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Dakota. In Alaska, Colorado, and New Hampshire, the Republicans are trying to unseat incumbent Democrats; the others are open seats. All but Georgia are currently held by Democrats. All but New Hampshire are very close races. While there have been a few polls in New Hampshire showing a close race between Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown (R), most polls give Shaheen a solid lead. Missing from this list is Kansas, where incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) is trailing independent Greg Orman. This omission is especially surprising since the chairman of the NRSC is Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), the junior senator from Kansas. Also missing is North Carolina, where Moran has probably given up on Thom Tillis (R) and conceded the race to Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC). Finally, Moran is apparently convinced that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has enough money of his own that he can fend off Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) without the NRSCs help.
