National GOP Yanks Funding From Crawford, TX Candidate...

[CatWoman]

Van Taylor said Monday that when he decided to challenge U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, last year, “I was prepared to go it alone without any external support.”

Now he may have to.

The Republican Party’s national campaign organization appears to be yanking major financial backing from Taylor’s race to focus instead on incumbents who face serious Democratic challenges.

An advertising campaign costing more than $1 million — similar to one benefiting the last Republican nominee to challenge Edwards two years ago — has been pulled, according to Edwards’ sources at five Dallas TV stations.

A Dallas-area TV station confirmed that the National Republican Congressional Committee canceled a large advertising buy apparently intended for Taylor.

The NRCC would not comment or discuss the matter because it involves campaign strategy, spokesman Jonathan Collegio said

They have to abandon Ohio and Pennsylvania here - they do not have the money.

Its like - when you rob from Peter to pay Paul - what happens when Peter stiffs you??
