It’s coming back to me.
I remember Cornball, as head of the NRSC, was very slow to help Miller in his race against murCowski. He had to be deluged with calls to even lift a finger to help Joe Miller, IIRC. It seems like he’d held out and/or considered possibly even helping murky? I can’t remember all of the details.
But the party rules stated clearly that write-in campaigns were not an option, right? That if you lost your primary, you do the honorable thing and bow out. Why was MurCOWski never censured?
Cornyn advised Lizard, upon realizing she’d lose the primary to TEA Joe Miller, to run Ind. and scoop up all the Alaskan RAT votes and sent 787s full of lawyers up there to make sure she was re-elected. They bussed thousands of eskimos to the polls with wristbands to show the election officials the name they wanted to vote for since they didn’t know who she was, much less how to spell her name in the write-in.
