Cornyn: ‘We Will Not Spend Money in a Contested Primary’

It's good to see my continuing to pound the drum to work with, not against the GOP, supported by some action on their end. Senator Cornyn speaking as NRSC chair after being hit on the head with a rather weighty clue bat. Good for him.

With Republicans grappling with the fallout of an intra-party battle that may have cost them a House seat, the head of the Senate Republican campaign effort is making a pledge that may ease some of the anger being directed at the party establishment.

"We will not spend money in a contested primary," Sen. John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told ABC News in a telephone interview today.

"There's no incentive for us to weigh in," said Cornyn, R-Texas. "We have to look at our resources. . . . We're not going to throw money into a [primary] race leading up to the election."

More like an Acme clue anvil falling on his head. A few more, and eventually Cornyn and the NRSC may be able to find their rear ends with both hands.

While I'm still disappointed he lost this does make the whole Hoffman kerfuffle seem worth it.
