Repub opponent of Democratic party-switcher refuses to drop out of race!

[kentuck]

Isn't this great! The Repub has more or less told the Republican Party to go and screw themselves. He ain't dropping out! :) Now, what does Mr Rodney Alexander do? Can they force the other guy off the ticket? They can only run one candidate, right? Does this leave Mr Alexander, the Traitor, out in the cold? It's almost enough to make one laugh out loud! :)

In the space of two weeks, Jock Scott went from being called an "excellent" Republican candidate by his party to being pressured to drop out of the congressional race.

Scott said that's not something he will do, despite his party's support of incumbent Rep. Rodney Alexander, who made a last-minute switch from Democrat to Republican last week.

"I have been subjected since Friday evening to a constant effort in numerous different ways to get me out of this race," Scott said. "The Republican Party at the national level just won't quit trying to get me out of this race."

A spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee denied it has pressured Scott to drop out, but repeated what they've been saying for days: Republicans are now backing Alexander.
