National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) spoke with Joe Miller over the weekend and assured him that the NRSC will stay neutral in the Alaska GOP Senate primary and support whoever wins, according to Republican sources.
Miller, a Fairbanks attorney, led Sen. Lisa Murkowski by nearly 1,700 votes with all precincts reporting following last Tuesday’s primary election in Alaska. The state this week is set to begin counting around 20,000 additional ballots, including absentee ballots and others referred to as questionable.

Sure they will.
Thank goodness Cornyn is listening, I called 100 times!
This means the NRSC already stole it...
Cornyn is an idiot. If the NRSC cannot find its way to support a conservative over a liberal (check the GOP platform, it’s supposed to be a small government, strong defense, pro-life & liberty party) then it is useless!! RINOs begone!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Exactly my thoughts when I first read that statement — the fix is in.
If the NRSC plans on staying neutral, why did they send a lawyer on Murkowski’s behalf?
It’s a bit too late for the NRSC to be neutral now. The damage was done. The national party has no business being involved in a primary.
Wow, that absentee number continues to grow.....first reports were 6-8,000, then 10,000 and now 20,000...this smells.
Especially since someone from Murks bunch got access to the election computer alone for 20 minutes.

thoughts?
Exactly. Did they recall the lawyers?
The NRSC is NOT the national party. It is a committee of the sitting senate republicans. Either way they should butt out.
Since hundreds of us have been calling and complaining for them to back down I would say this is a victory for Miller,
and no small thing.
Miller’s going to come out of this with a win, you’ll see.
Exactly. Did they recall the lawyers?

Yes, as per the article.
Oops. Got caught up in the moment. :)
Like I said the should butt out anyway. Maybe you’re not a republican and so are unfamiliar with the structure of the party?
RNC = National Party
NRSC = A committee of all sitting republican senators that seeks to keep their jobs and elect more republican senators.
NRCC = Same as above but house instead of senate.
That said who cares? I was just trying to be informative.
The main point is they took the message and backed out, good.
If true, then we can all say “it’s about time”. Maybe our friend Jim Demint, and his successful work lately has something to do with the NRSC new position.
