"" Did the national GOP deliberately withhold support from these candidates because of their immigration stance? What happened? ""
I've wonder the same thing myself, LE. Case in point is JD Heyword who was asked *if he didn't like brown people *, by Rove, due to his stance on Security First on our borders.
Also Allen may have lost due to the lying media and their campaign to go after him for a non-issue for weeks. Allen lost by such a small margin. Darn.
The GOP spent millions to keep Chaffee, but how much help did they give to Allen and Weldon??? We lost a good man when we lost Weldon too. Most Americans, when poled are against illegal immigration. Just doesn't make sense what happened Tuesday. Sigh. Sniff.
Hi, Pep!
Actually, I heard from an Arizonan who says the state GOP definitely withheld support from JD.
The Allen race was indeed painful. All it takes is one 'macaca' and they're off and running; what a shame. I happened to watch his concession speech during my lunch break last Thursday. He kept his dignity and did what no Dem would ever do.
Weldon was our Able Danger man too; how convenient that he is now gone, eh?
