If (especially after the first debate) things still aren't looking good for Rmoney, might the superpacs not shift their resources toward Senate races? Especially Missouri (where the establishment GOP has cut Akin off), but also looking at the races in Wisconsin, Mass, and Virginia. They may see this as a better investment of resources.
