Did she really think Bouchard had a shot? She's an idiot. Pure and simple.
The respective Senatorial campaign chairs have to have their upset race but when you're in the final weeks of the campaign, you can't divert a million to that upset race when your candidate is still way behind. It's even worse when you consider the fact that the pulled out of Montana when polls showed it narrowing!
I agree. She single handily blew the chance for the GOP to hold the Senate. I'm glad she's incompetent, though. I mean, who actually liked Burns?
Quite frankly, I think Burns' chances were blown when Bush made the appearance out there, rather than the NRSC not spending money for advertising. Otherwise, he might have eeked through, but I can't say I'm unhappy the opposite happened.
Strangely enough, Burns' strategy of attacking Tester on taxes was highly effective using his own money. I doubt the NRSC would have spent it as wisely.
