The National Republican Senatorial Committee will continue to endorse Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in the state's Senate primary race but will not provide financial support, Sen. John Cornyn, the group's chairman, said Tuesday.
"We're going to stick with our endorsement," Mr. Cornyn, Texas Republican, said in an interview with The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show. But "we're not going to be spending any money in the primary."
Mr. Cornyn said the group backed Mr. Crist at a "much earlier time," after former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush decline to run.
"We looked around for the most popular Republican in the state," he said.
A Rasmusen poll this week shows former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio leading Mr. Crist 49 percent to 37 percent among likely Republican primary voters.
Conservative activists in the party are flocking to Mr. Rubio while national GOP leaders still support the more moderate Mr. Crist.

The GOP is presently the only political vehicle that provides an outlet and the promotion of conservative values and policies for voters.
This Party had better awaken to the shifting political sands in our Country, that includes Independants, Democrats, newly involved citizens and Republicans that understand the crisis that has developed at the National level and are organizing through the T.E.A. Party Rallys to bring a change in the political climate that now exists. Changing it to one that will be more accountable, responsive, and private sector oriented.
And this could mean that we need to consideer voting ALL encumbents out of office.
