"The National Republican Senatorial Committee will be endorsing Crist, according to a senior Hill operative, marking the first time it has taken sides (for a non-incumbent) in a competitive GOP primary this election cycle.
NRSC chairman John Cornyn [the second most conservatice man in the Senate®] made the endorsement official this morning, casting Crist as the most electable candidate to hold the seat for the GOP."
I remember that day very well. As SOON as I heard it reported, I called the headquarters of the NRSC....spoke to a very nice young lady, and told her to get my message to John Cornyn: stay OUT of this race.
I told them it was not for the DC establishment to decide between two legitimate Republican candidates....the voters should choose and then the NRSC should support the winner. I also reminded them of Crist’s embrace of Obama and his porkulus.
The person I spoke to was very cordial and indicated that they had already heard from many other citizens expressing the same sentiment.
