Full statement by John Cornyn, head of the NRSC:
“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee's chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.
“I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support. This support includes a check for $42,000 – the maximum allowable donation that we have provided to all of our nominees – which the NRSC will send to her campaign today.
“We remain committed to holding Democrat nominee New Castle County Executive Chris Coons accountable this November, as we inform voters about his record of driving his county to the brink of bankruptcy and supporting his party's reckless spending policies in Washington.
“In the weeks ahead, we will decide where to best allocate additional financial resources among the large number of competitive races at stake this November. While it's not in Republicans' interest to advertise our spending strategy to our opponents, it's worth noting that just yesterday, the NRSC's first independent expenditure ad aired in support of Dr. Rand Paul's campaign in Kentucky, where we firmly believe that he will win in November.
“It remains to be seen whether national Democrats will provide a similar level of support for many of their nominees, including in key battleground states like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Arkansas, Illinois, and New Hampshire, among others. The Democrats' indecision reflects the fact that Republicans are on offense in at least 12 Democrat-held states and we are leading in the polls in seven of those 12 states.
“Finally, on the matter of the New Hampshire Senate race, while the results remain outstanding, we continue to monitor the Republican primary race, and we stand ready to fully support whichever candidate is chosen as the nominee.”

John Cornyn is done. I will personally run against him if I must.
YOU better believe it is the end of the GOP if they don’t support the conservative WILL of the PEOPLE!
That’s fine with me. I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.
THE NRSC did everything to derail her campaign and they failed. How much were they going to give her for the general? Probably nothing. I don’t give them any money anyway. Not anymore. No longer the king makers, they just have sour grapes.
Can’t get their web site to load. Imagine a few people are wanting to leave their regards.
Exactly. This is corruption to the core.
The GOP just created a third party.
Not even to the candidate. And tell them exactly why,,,, THEN they will immediately start making phone calls to people who wont answer the phone for us. We must seize the party.
Castle and Coons will split the Liberal/Dem vote, allowing Christine to win.
She won the primary without their help, Michael Steele & the elites can go **** themselves.Who needs them?
Not one dollar will I send to them. Any calls or mail will be disposed of or ignored. I’ll send support direct to the candidates I choose.
“That’s it for me. Not another dime to those jackmunches in the RNC.”
What a bunch of sore losers! Screw the RNC!
No money to that committee, I dare them to call me. They must cease to exist.
Boycott the GOP!! Send them old dirty socks instead of money. I will be supporting tea party canidates only!!!
Now! this is what I call a revolution!!!!!!!
Wow.
The power elite does not like losing power.
Both the Democrats and Republicans thought Washington was a club, with the haves and have nots.
I guess the struggle is joined.
Exactly. March with your checkbook. If I ever have any money to spare, I will donate to good conservatives.
Their decision has just verified what we have all feared for so long, Most of the GOP are RINOS.
Yes, they will pay for this. I was disgusted with Carl Rove attitude with O'Donnell's win tonight. He has turned on her and says she will not win in the General.
I never thought I would dislike Rove, but this is it for me, he too is a RINO. They all have their money ties together and are scared S---tless about loseing their positions. THIS IS WAR now.
Time to send money to O'Donnell.
