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.”
Good morning! Yes, remember I was telling you about Christine last week even before Sarah and the NRA endorsed her. I woke up to the wonderful news! Rush, who does not like to get involved in the primaries, was pulling for her on his show yesterday! Chalk another one up for the Tea Party and all us conservatives!
Look for Christines web site and donate.
Then, when the RNC asks for money, send a note that you donated to Christines campaign and send the normal amount less her donation. Let them know.
For those of us who sent checks for two cents for John McCain, we know the satisfaction of returning an insult. Telling a Democrat who runs as a Republic to go “F” himself is priceless.

Maybe Republicans in Good Standing should demand that they change the name of the building from Ronald Reagan.
It sounds like obscene things are being done in this building that Ronald Reagan would not put up with!
They have something about the email address being protected by spam and requiring Java, but I don't see how, unless they send you an email that you must respond to...
They must have FAX numbers and they probably have 800 [Toll Free Numbers] somewhere.
And then it is possible for people to talk the GOP National Office as well.
With comments like that, You might want to reconsider that screen name.
“Discuss”?
lol.
How about this: Frak the NRSC. =.=
I love "jackmunches." :)
I quit giving to the RNC a couple of years ago. I don't want my money supporting people like Romney and Pawlenty.
I donate to to Tea Party backed candidates' campaigns now.
let’s tell the NRSC where they can shove their fundraising
give to good conservative candidates directly, folks, and forget about the official party committees!!!
Its not a dumb argument at all. If you can’t appeal to your own base in the Primary, what good are you in the General. We went with the establishment “winnable” candidate in 2008. A lot of good that did.
It'd be easier to just rename the party. The Republican establishment is made up of country club/get along with the libs types.
I don't even like the term RINO--they DEFINE what a Republican actually IS--WE are the ones who aren't Republicans.
Pro-Life, anti-illegal immigration, no flexibility on taxes, etc. I sure don't sound like a Republican of today.
I just donated a small amount. A gesture I guess. If we all did it would mean we put our money where our mouth is.
Even a small amount speaks volumes.

I'm in. How about you Mr. Robinson? Are you still on the fence with the leftist RINO's?
Screw them and screw the RNC and GOP.
I am.
Count me in!
This reminds me of California’s refusal to defend Proposition 8 in court, in a way. The people speak, and their representatives say “SCREW YOU, WE’RE DOING WHAT WE WANT, NOT WHAT YOU WANT.”
Someone suggested sending back tea bags in response to GOP funding requests. I would NOT recommend filling an envelope with anything that could be labeled a “possibly harmful substance,” but I do recommend maybe sending a coupon for tea, along with a note explaining that you have contributed directly to the tea party candidates of your choice.
They have, in fact, just revealed their true selves, true contempt for the folks they have been courting for cash for years, and, exactly why we have Barry O in office right now.
We can survive the enemy without - it is the enemy within that has brought us to this point. I remember watching McCain and thinking “is he THROWING this election??” because of the utterly stupid things he did. I think he actually made a awesome “mistake” with choosing Sarah Palin. I think that's why they turned on her within his ranks. They thought they had a controllable party mannequin - and thank God they found out different.
The establishment GOP RINOs simply must be washed out of the party. They are killing this nation. They need to go on over to the side they are already on. This Delaware election has put the daylight on the vampire.
They're blatantly dissing the base, because the base refused to obey their dictates.
This is why there's a tea party. The tax slaves are rebelling.
Please to not donate to the Republican party. It only feeds the RINO beast. Choose your candidate, so YOUR voice is heard loud and clear.
Tea party is anti-Democrat but not necessarily pro-GOP although you can see some RINOs trying to infiltrate it.
