In the primaries, they most definitely tried to eliminate him (they really, really don't like him, in my opinion, for obvious reasons--he's not one of them). As I recall, they only grudgingly supported him after we conservatives shot down Kirk Humphries, the RNC-annointed candidate, in the primary.
Remember, Bush and the RNC went all out for Arlan Specter and other RINOs. They really have a fondness for them, you know. That only means we have to work in our various states to beat the RINOs over both RNC and Democrat opposition. Really, it's the only realistic hope we have of winning. I might be banned for saying so, but that's how I see it. We've got enemies on both sides of the aisle.
