> The RNC nor state Parties should take sides in a Primary absent some undeniably bad act by an incumbent. It is the Party’s job to protect and support incumbents unless they have clearly engaged in some bad act. Being disliked by a faction or being attacked by the media or the Democrats IS NOT a bad act, in fact I consider it a recommendation.

You’ve just explained why I no longer give money to the RNC. I think it’s the Party’s job to forward ideals, not incumbents. You see their job as seeking to elect self-described Republicans, no matter what their record. That’s what led the RNC to support Arlen Specter.
