(CNN) - The National Republican Senatorial Committee blasted out an email to reporters Wednesday afternoon with the headline that Sen. John McCain has offered $1 million to the organization.
The promise comes as the party committee is looking to pick up at least 10 seats in order to take back a majority in the Senate. NRSC Chairman Sen. John Cornyn praised McCain, saying, "It's very encouraging to see Sen. McCain step up and do this. Republicans have historically not done this like Democrats have, and that has been a real competitive advantage that they have had."

McCain's resources are sizeable. The Arizona senator has over $17 million left in his presidential campaign accounts and, as of the August 4 filing deadline, had $1.5 million in his Senate campaign coffers.

To not have used the entirety says he bailed before the POTUS race was over.
With the NRSC’s track record of supporting RINO’s and limp wrists, I’m not sure that we should be praising this contribution.
Are their contributions public information? I’d like to see where and what candidates they will be sending funds to.
McCain will be selling us out soon in Congress. No money can buy my soul. I guess your price is One Million. No praise will come from me.
That was from the “compliance fund” which could not be spent on regular campaign expenditures because he was capped...although ironically, a loophole existed to allow it be carried over into a future campaign for that reason. The king of campaign finance reform exploited a loophole.
The primaries are over.
This is a welcome move by McCain. It could make the difference in a very close Senate picture.
McCain can be aggravating—indeed. However I, and I know many of the men and women who served in Iraq beginning in 2003, will never forget that McCain was one of those WHO MADE VICTORY POSSIBLE THERE when he strongly endorsed and fought to bring about the SURGE there of U. S. forces—in the face of vehement opposition from most Democrats including Obama.
So evaluate McCain as you will—but include that in your equation. A lot of the troops do.
Are you blind? This is an "in the off chance that we retake the senate, I am Majority Leader, bitches" bribe.
IMO YOUR post hit the nail square on the head.
How much money did he give Sarah Palin for her defense fund?
” A RINO supporting RINO’s because Conservatives have told them to drop dead. “
WINNER!!
Well, the good news is, McCain just pissed away $1 million that can’t otherwise be used against conservatives. The NRSC is about the least effective organization on the planet!
Nothing.
Megham McCain (no not Megyn Kelly) on MSNBC O Donnell The Lasrt word 10:30pm EST. Said she supports Master....(er self-love) That was her most substancial comment.
She has an OK looking face but needs to give up the donuts and high cal Yuppie Star Bucks drinks, and join a boot camp,
Anyone know anyone who will admit they bought her book?
Rabs and EEE are still in a blood fued for Petunia’s hand
Maybe Rabs wants Meg's attention. You know like the school-boy picking on the girl he has a crush on :) I bet a trail of donuts would work better to lure her.
Ya know? Like it's the worst time of my life, and the best time too, ya know? You hate it and love, ya know? I try not to look back, except when I remember, ya know? I think we can get young people involved if only we can get rid of conservatives and the Tea party, and replace Republicans with moderates like Spector, my dad and Obama, ya know?"
she had a ghost writer write her a book?
