A short on Brown v. DeWine. When we say that the RNC has written off Sen. DeWine (R) in Ohio, no one should take that to mean that the race is over. Political committees have to make tough calls about how to distribute limited financial resources in these final weeks. The GOP's decision not to invest any more money in DeWine tells you that they're not confident more money will help at this point and they're redirecting that cash toward races they believe they can still salvage. That's not, however, the same as saying the race is over. It's not.
