WITH CORRUPTION TRIAL LOOMING, SUNUNU FUNDS MAY GO TOWARD DEFENDING INDICTED SENATOR

Democrats call on Sununu to stop his campaign money from being spent to support Ted Stevens

According to a report in today’s edition of Roll Call, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to which John Sununu donated $30,000 this cycle, now says it supports indicted-Senator Ted Stevens’ re-election bid, is polling voters in the state, and is refusing to say whether it will spend money on his behalf through advertising or other campaign spending.  After Stevens was indicted in July, Sununu returned $10,000 of the $47,000 Stevens has contributed to him, the GOP caucus removed Stevens from his committee leadership posts, and the NRSC refused to publicly endorse the incumbent in his primary.
