Well a couple of them did not end up getting nominated - Hoffman though was short changed by the NY party elites as a primary did not decide the nominee and they picked some ultra liberal “Republican” even more liberal than the Dem nominee. Joe Miller - without the NRSC expenditures he wouldn’t have had any campaign at all, Sharron Angle refused NRSC coordination / training though they did spend money independently on her behalf, she raised a great deal of her own money, and Rove’s groups spent a lot of money there - O’Donnell was snubbed but she raised so much money (over $10 million) she did not need party support (but ran horrificly poorly produced ads that looked like they were made with a home movie camera and put together on Windows Movie Maker...leading off with the “I’m not a witch” ad which pretty much ended her campaign right away - no excuse for this as she had the money to hire the best media companies in the business and she did not), Buck got extensive support from the NRSC and Rove’s groups with their own expenditures on his behalf in CO in that race.
What is your opinion on post #36???
