The NRSC/NRCC as Expressed Through Code

Following up on my earlier post about the role of the NRSC and NRCC, here is their candidate support function as explained through code.

function give_candidate_support($seat,$incumbent,$candidate) {

var $seat

var $incumbent

var $candidate

if ($seat = ‘open’) && ($candidate = ‘viable conservative’) {

     show_support;

}

elseif ($seat = ‘open’) && ($candidate = ‘viable Republican’) {

     show_support;

}

elseif ($seat != ‘open’) && ($incumbent = ‘Democrat’ {

     if  ($candidate = ‘viable conservative’) {

     show_support;

     }

     elseif ($seat = ‘open’ && $candidate = ‘viable Republican’) {

     show_support;

     }

     elseif ($seat = ‘open’ && $candidate = ‘less than viable conservative’) {

     show_tepid_support;

     }

    else ($seat = ‘open’ && $candidate = ‘less than viable Republican’ {

    show_tepid_support;

}

else ($seat != ‘open’) && ($incumbent = ‘Republican’ }

show_support;

}

}
