The NRCC's RINO candidate lost, so it sounds like they're taking their football and going home instead of fighting for, y'know, REPUBLICANS. Which I thought was the point of the NRCC's entire existence.
Way to surrender, guys.

Duke needs to post something about the Democrat.
Moose, Graf's internal numbers are terrible from What I hear, since I live in Tucson. The RNC's plan is to save money here and go after Giffords with Consensous Candidate in 2008. She is very liberal and will be a one termer.
Jim Kolbe is the one destroying Graf's campaign, because he is anti -Gay.
When the candidate's down by 14 points, and has been endorsed by David Duke without a peep of protest from the candidate, the election's over.
Even if Graf loses, he will likely run again in '08. Virtually all of the other candidates were RINO liberals.
I'd like to know what's really going on here.
KKK and stormfront ruining Graf's chances?
Are any debates scheduled?
""Even if Graf loses, he will likely run again in '08. Virtually all of the other candidates were RINO liberals.""
So he wants to be a 2x loser??
You could call him that now, as he lost the primary to the horrid Kolbe in '04. If his defeat is narrow, given all the screwing and sandbagging he has taken in THIS contest, it would be rightfully his to seek a rematch against Giffords. Kolbe himself ran in 1982 for the newly-created seat and lost to the 'Rat, Jim McNulty. So when he ran again in a rematch in '84, he beat the incumbent. Hopefully Graf will surprise the pundits and pull off a win the first time around.
Oh, whoops, lookie there. I just noticed he's one of those pesky principled Conservatives you deride on FR and ought to be "thrown out of the party" in your estimation. That's why most of us like him so much. ;-)
Filed he will run again but lose in the Primary. I hope he wins, but Internals show him down 15 to 20 because of jerk Kolbe and the RINO faction.
Good Point. Kolbe beat McNulty in a Reagan lead year. Kolbe hates Graf because Randy basically outed him.
If Graf loses, it'll be because he didn't cut ties with Duke. I swear these "true Conservatives" spend more time aligning themselves with kooks and reprobates, it's no wonder they turn voters off.
Sky, and the Democrats have Nation Of Islam Keith Ellison in Minnesota. He hates Jews as much as David Duke does.
Are you accusing Randy Graf of having ties to David Duke?
Do you have any evidence to back up that charge?
Doesn't happen that way; once they get a toehold on a district, the incumbent is often unbeatable regardless of the political complexion of the voters. The NRCC is lartely ineffective and irrelevant.
Isn't it more of a case of the KKK and Stormfront latching on to Graf?
Yes, and Duke is a member of Stormfront.
Hell Graf was silent when the democrats spent $175,000 against his primary opponent, Huffman.
