Has the NRCC abandoned Randy Graf after all? (Dem propaganda?)
The Stakeholder ^ | 9/21/08 | ER Doc

Posted on 09/21/2006 7:21:46 PM PDT by ER Doc

The source here is highly questionable, (the DCCC's weblog) but the allegation is troubling: "The NRCC, having gone out on a limb to get a more moderate candidate through the primary and failed, has just given up on ... nominee Randy Graf. We have just gotten word that they have cancelled everything on the air from October 3rd forward."

If this is true, I'm ashamed of the NRCC

For once, the RATS tell the truth.

But I don't understand this.

This article talks about the GOP supporting Graf.

And this article talks about him returning from Washington with bucks and new friends.

Doesn't make sense.

Let's face it, the smart thing to do is to spend very little $ on both candidates who are unlikely to lose and those unlikely to win, and to put your money where the races are close.

  Graf Receives Wide Support from National GOP

(Tucson, AZ) Randy Graf, the Republican nominee to replace retiring US Congressman Jim Kolbe, was pleased to announce that the national Republican Party and its leaders have come together to support his campaign. After winning the Republican Primary for the Eighth Congressional District of Arizona on September 12, 2006, Randy flew out to Washington, D.C. the following day to meet with national party leaders who have pledged their support and promised to help Randy’s campaign collect the needed resources in order to win the general election on November 7, 2006.

Among those who Randy met with and who promised help were Republican Party leaders in the US House of Representatives and Ken Mehlman, Chairman of the Republican National Committee. House leaders who pledged their support in meetings with Randy Graf include Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, Majority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri, Chief Deputy Majority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, Deputy Majority Whip Tom Feeney of Florida, Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana, and NRCC Chairman Thomas M. Reynolds of New York. Each of these national party and Congressional leaders offered their support and many gave financial contributions to the Randy Graf for Congress campaign. Along with the support of national Republican leaders, Randy has received the support and endorsements of Senator Jon Kyl, and Congressmen Jeff Flake, Trent Franks, J.D. Hayworth, Rick Renzi, and John Shadegg of Arizona.

Randy Graf is excited for the opportunity to join these fine Americans in serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and is planning on fighting hard to ensure victory in November. Randy acknowledges that this will be a tough election but is confident that he has the message that will resonate with voters in order to win in November. Randy Graf stated that: “If we continue to focus on the issues that helped us win the Primary, we will be able to relate to the voters and their stances on the most important issues for the district. These issues include controlling government spending, lowering taxes on families, winning the War against Terrorists, and securing our borders against terrorists, criminals, and illegal aliens. Once we relate to the voters on these important issues, we will win in November.” There should be no question in the minds of voters that when it comes to stopping illegal immigration, Randy is the only choice. Randy’s strong showing in the Republican primary along with the built-in 20,000 vote registration advantage for Republicans in the District are two reasons Randy believes he is already well on the right track to win in November. Graf has also stated that he is confident that he will be able to raise the necessary $1 million plus between now and November 7 in order to carry his message to the voters and win the General Election.
