Blast From the Past
Researching something else, I happened to come across this archived article from the New York Times outlining the GOP establishment coming out of the woodwork for an obscure race in Texas’s (at the time) 14th district. It includes a big play by the governor of the state personally stepping in (breaking his rule of not getting involved in primaries) and working to get support so the establishment choice wouldn’t get rudely defeated by a pesky challenger.
Great, great stuff.
And, if you want the followup article about how that election went, here it is.
