Does not the party have to send its resources to races where the polling says the seat is in reach? If this candidate is not polling competitively, why would it be the GOP's fault? The cart must come before the horse, not vice versa.

Kolbe's hand selected liberal candidate (Huffman) spent millions trying to defeat Graf by assassinating his character. It was the repeated media blitz to falsely attack Graf that is hurting him now. Also Kolbe said he would not support Graf after he won the primary.
The party is not required to send money - however the RNCC did send money and backing to Kolbe's candidate.
This is what is hurting Graf - the GOP came out against him and now because he is a true conservative they refuse to back him.
Chafee, McCain and Spector would be very happy with your response. This is exactly how they think too. Destroy the true conservatives in the primary and then blame it on the conservatives for not polling higher in the general.
