' NRSC: Looks like it's what LBJ would call "nut cuttin' time": The NRSC is starting to cancel ad time in New Mexico (where Dem Rep. Martin Heinrich remains stubbornly in the lead) and Missouri (where Todd Akin... need I say more?). Instead, they've just booked $3.1 million worth of airtime in little ol' North Dakota, which is truly a hair-on-fire move. That's a massive buy for a state that small'and one in which demographics should naturally favor them. This move may yet save them, but if the Peace Garden State is a top battleground for national Republicans, that's not a good sign for them'nor is the fact that they are apparently abandoning two other pickup opportunities, including what had very recently been their second-best bet.
