Of course the NRSC will give money to Orrin Hatch! He’s the sitting Senior Senator from Utah!

That's stupid. The NRSC shouldn't play in primaries.

If a sitting Senator is ass enough to lose a primary he bloody well deserves it, and the NRSC shouldn't waste money on him.

Just like with them supporting Crist in Florida...Rubio won handily thank God.

I would not donate a cent to that entrenchment mechanism. Probably will support Snowe too

That’s what the NRSC is for; to re-elect Republican Senatorial incumbents. If you don’t want your money going for that, don’t send them any. Find a primary candidate, and send your money directly to support that person.

Ever wonder why a sitting Senator has a 90+% chance for reelection? House members are lower but still over 70%.

To get a Senator out of office, they have to be dead, decide to quit or are picked to join the Cabinet. The latter was the only way we got rid of Bite Me and Hitlery.

VERY tough to vote them out. That’s why we need term limits.
