Those co-called "vicious attacks" by the RNCC is mis-info from the whiners. Everyone knows that Graf's support, tho not wide enough to win the general, was deep enough that the RNCC could have spent a bazillion dollars and not dislodged one Graf voter.

The reality is that the RNCC was spending money on moderate #1 over moderate #2 to counter the DNC money being spent moderate #2. The dems knew if they could split the moderate vote, Graf would win the GOP primary and he had no chance of winning the general.

The dems saved a lot of money by spending in the GOP primary. If Graf had lost and the moderate had won the GOP primary, the dems would have had to spend a whole lot more in the general election. As it was, they didn't have to spend a dime to beat Graf.

Hardly. It was extremely unprincipled of the RNCC to have intervened IN THE PRIMARY and funded ATTACK ADS against a REPUBLICAN candidate.

It's hard enough to beat the other team when some on your own team turn on you as well.
