Republican US Senate Candidate Wendy Long said this morning on Fred Dicker’s radio show on Talk 1300 AM that she would support the GOP nominee for US Senate – after being asked repeatedly by Dicker.
The first few times she was asked, Long insisted that she was fully confident that she would be the nominee. She said the same thing to Capital Tonight when we interviewed her last week.
When pressed on what she would do if she lost the primary, she eventually said, “I will support the GOP nominee” though she never wavered on her insistence that she will win on June 26.
Long has already secured the Conservative Party’s backing in the race. If she lost the GOP nomination but continued to run as a conservative, with a different candidate on the GOP line, she’d likely split the vote and end up killing any chance for the Republicans to defeat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
Long is an attorney though, and if she lost the GOP primary, the Conservative party could nominate her for a judge race, freeing up the conservative line for the GOP winner.

Very classy of Wendy Long.
