Full statement by John Cornyn, head of the NRSC:
“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee's chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.
“I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support. This support includes a check for $42,000 – the maximum allowable donation that we have provided to all of our nominees – which the NRSC will send to her campaign today.
“We remain committed to holding Democrat nominee New Castle County Executive Chris Coons accountable this November, as we inform voters about his record of driving his county to the brink of bankruptcy and supporting his party's reckless spending policies in Washington.
“In the weeks ahead, we will decide where to best allocate additional financial resources among the large number of competitive races at stake this November. While it's not in Republicans' interest to advertise our spending strategy to our opponents, it's worth noting that just yesterday, the NRSC's first independent expenditure ad aired in support of Dr. Rand Paul's campaign in Kentucky, where we firmly believe that he will win in November.
“It remains to be seen whether national Democrats will provide a similar level of support for many of their nominees, including in key battleground states like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Arkansas, Illinois, and New Hampshire, among others. The Democrats' indecision reflects the fact that Republicans are on offense in at least 12 Democrat-held states and we are leading in the polls in seven of those 12 states.
“Finally, on the matter of the New Hampshire Senate race, while the results remain outstanding, we continue to monitor the Republican primary race, and we stand ready to fully support whichever candidate is chosen as the nominee.”
Are you paying attention Texas conservatives? (I’m sure you are!) It’s time for Cornyn to GO!!!
I never thought I would dislike Rove, but this is it for me, he too is a RINO. They all have their money ties together and are scared S---tless about loseing their positions. THIS IS WAR now.
I watched that too. That was a disgusting display by Rove. What a pig and a sore loser. His guy had lost, yet he couldn't put it behind him and show support for the GOP nominee. I guess he will be campaigning for and contributing to the Jackass nominee in Delaware.
Rove is just a ruling class pig and I have no more use for him.
Castle voted to move forward impeachment of Rove's former boss of many years, and yet Rove has his nose up Castle's a**. Very bizarre.
Rove should have kept him mouth shut and opinions to himself.
that being said he is probably looking at this on the basis on who would have had a better shot at winning the seat. I hope she can win in November but she apparently will have a lot of ground to make up last poll i saw had her over 20 points behind that Coons guy
Ok, I admit that I don’t know much about Christine O’Donnell. What is it that makes the Republican establishment so concerned about her honesty and character?
My eyes are being opened more and more to the enemy that we are fighting - its the RINO’s. No more of my money going to any Republican fund raisers. I’ll send checks to individual conservative candidates.
Great idea!
Well done. Thank you.
The human being with the most votes wins.
"None of the Above" is the functional equivalent of throwing your ballot in the trash because that is where it ends up.
Rove is an insider and if the grassroots Tea Party is effective, it means that he and all his insider buddies are irrelevant.
I have completely lost all respect for Rove after tonight. May Piss be upon him.
Yep..That's how I've been doing it for years.
Lets see O’Donnell was fine in 2008 candidacy for a Senate Run...NOW she is worthy of precous RNC (republican donor) money. WELL GUESS WHAT RNC, YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF rEPUB DONOR MONEY EITHER. Direct donations to Candidates is the ONLY anwser.
Also on the plus side, apparently they won’t waste $3m on her campaign either...
The feeling is mutual, very much so.
“Forget a third party.
We need a SECOND one.”
Exactly. We’re storming the gates!
“REVOLT! No money whatsoever to the repubs until they reverse this. Start with local candidates too. THey will complain up the chain with more of a voice than we will have.”
Exactly - support candidates directly. No more money to the establishment!
Great post. I think any pain will be on the side of the establishment RINO party, and it will be self-imposed. We may have some imagined pain in a purging, but the incredible benefit derived from the "cost" will be well worth it.
Brilliant! The more I learn about Jim Demint the better I am liking him.
