NRSC to back Bennett against conservative primary challengers

By GottaLaff

Rushpublics Eating Their Own can be fun... if you're a Democratic spectator:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee will back Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah) in his battle against the Club for Growth and conservative challengers. [...]

“The NRSC and Sen. Cornyn fully stand behind Sen. Bennett,” said Brian Walsh, spokesman for the committee. [...]

The Senate Republican campaign committee has pledged it would stay neutral in open-seat Republican primaries this election year.

The committee is backing Bennett because he is an incumbent. [...]

Supporting Bennett could subject the campaign committee to criticism from conservative activists, another reason why GOP officials may be hesitant to spend much money to protect him in a conservative primary.

And we wouldn't want to rile up them Tea Baggers. You know how they get when a bee gets under their Tea Bonnet.
