[...] UPDATE: A vacationing James Joyner takes the RNC’s explanation at face value: I’d have to see the numbers but both parties’ fundraising continues to set record highs. The 2008 presidential campaign has started roughly a year before any other in history and already record amounts are being raised. Furthermore, the GOP candidates who are the toughest immigration hawks, Tom Tancredo and Sam Brownback, are statistically tied with my dog in the polls. It’s therefore highly unlikely that the Republican party has suddenly found fundraising to have dried up and that immigration policy is the cause. [...]

Perhaps direct mail and Internet solicitations have simply obviated phone solicitations?

All evidence that I have seen shows that the Republicans are horrible at raising money online.

There is also the factor of the transient nature of phone bank operators. such services are usually short term. If the contractor, for whatever reason, was going to be replaced, now would be the time to do that; before the next election starts in earnest. As you suggest they may have simply terminated the contract.

I suspect, that in the end, much more is being made of this story than is really there. In any event, claiming any kind of victory because of a move like this, a move which would be handled in any other election year without so much as a peep from the press, seems more than a little bit opportunistic.
