Did all the calls and pressure finally back the NRSC off?

[kevao]

assured him that the NRSC will stay neutral in the Alaska GOP Senate primary

Sure they will.

[GoCards]

Thank goodness Cornyn is listening, I called 100 times!

[itsahoot]

[Minus_The_Bear]

This means the NRSC already stole it...

[Jim Robinson]

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!!

[Mount Athos]

Either that or the job is done

Exactly my thoughts when I first read that statement — the fix is in.

[traderrob6]

If the NRSC plans on staying neutral, why did they send a lawyer on Murkowski’s behalf?

[TommyDale]

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.

[Seeking the truth]

Wow, that absentee number continues to grow.....first reports were 6-8,000, then 10,000 and now 20,000...this smells.

[mazda77]

Especially since someone from Murks bunch got access to the election computer alone for 20 minutes.

Exactly. Did they recall the lawyers?

[free me]

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.

Yes, as per the article.

[TommyDale]

Excuse me?? NRSC = National Republican Senatorial Committee

[RedMDer]

Oops. Got caught up in the moment. :)

[free me]

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.

[Wuli]

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.
