National GOP to Back Specter
American Spectator ^ | on 4.14.09 @ 4:28PM | By W. James Antle, III

National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn has thrown his weight behind Sen. Arlen Specter, who is likely to face a tough renomination fight against former Club for Growth President Pat Toomey:

"My job as head of the NRSC is to guide the GOP back to a majority in the Senate," wrote Cornyn to Pennsylvania Republicans. "I can't do that without Arlen Specter. With him as our nominee, I can target our campaign resources toward beating Democrats and growing the Senate Republican Conference."

...and the self-destruction of the GOP continues apace.

A party shouldn't be endorsing or supporting a candidate before the primary. Let the voters decide, not the bosses.

They just don't get it.

Or maybe they do & we're the ones who don't.

And Pat Toomey would make a GOP resurgence in the Senate impossible how?

There will be no elections in 2010 so this doesn’t matter.

Not one nickel to the RNC, the Senate Republican Committee, or any affiliated party apparatus. These bastards can commit suicide without my help

Didn’t the RNC support Specter last time when Toomey challenged him? Same ole, same ole.

Hold on. You mean he is going to BACK him in the Primary?!

How? Why?

The party should take a “let the voters decide” approach in the primary.

C’mon John—you know better.

Another reason the NRSC will get a big fat zero from me.

When, oh when are they ever going to get the message?

Thank you Senator. You just saved me any money I might have donated to the RNSC.
