Must National Committees Jump Into Primaries?
John Miller questions the wisdom of the NRSC's immediate endorsement of Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio in the Florida Senate primary. I would only add the question, how many Republicans have ever said, "Thank goodness the NRSC intervened in that primary"?
National committees intervening in primaries certainly has a messy history — Ramesh wrote about some cases of NRCC intervention in Kansas in 2004, and Matt Lewis wrote about some cases in 2006.
It's up to Florida Republicans. Let them decide.
