Senate Republican leaders, frustrated by losing winnable seats, are preparing to play a more assertive role in primary races, in consultation with the Tea Party and other conservative activists. The strategy reflects a change from the 2012 election in which they took a relatively hands-off approach to party primaries, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Akin and Mourdock lost because they’re both jackhole idiots who let their big mouths prove it to everyone else.
The Republicans need to go with true Conservatives or die.
Even an amateur like myself knew in JANUARY that journ0list Stephanopolus signalled that the “war on women” was the campaign theme for Dems.
I can’t believe Mourdock wasn’t prepped for that.
All you have to say is “so you’re in favor of keeping convicted murderers alive and killing innocent pre-born children?”
We traded an 80% Republican for a 97% Baraqqi for 6 years.
I would like to see her become governor.
Let me get this straight. Akin and Murdock were ahead ...on the five yard line. ....all they had to do was run out the clock. Then they make misogynistic...Boneheaded...Factually untrue statements..make incacuable damage to the pro life movement....scare and dismay woman..LOSE the seats... and your solution is to Put them front and center?
“There are more rightists than Leftists in the country.”
Jim, this is where you go off the track.
The “empirical evidence” (in this case, votes) ought to illustrate that that is no longer the case.
There’s gettin’ to be more folks IN the wagon than pullin’ it!
It's fine if the candidate is pro-life and not in favor of gay marriage. But if he makes his campaign revolve around abortion, to the exclusion of the economy, he will lose.
Romney lost, to a large extent, because he was a squishy moderate who the so-cons were unwilling to support.
Akin lost because he was perceived as somebody who was predominantly interested in the abortion issue.
“Even an amateur like myself knew in JANUARY that journ0list Stephanopolus signalled that the “war on women” was the campaign theme for Dems.”
Wrong.
It was “the economy, stupid!”
Or didn’t you realize that?
/s
PS: Not sure of what the -new- theme should be, but it ain’t gonna be just the economy no mo’. Not if we wish to win, anyway...
The problem is that if a candidate makes a statement in opposition to abortion, then that is ALL the public will hear about that candidate, 24/7. That one remark will be the only subject of conversation in the MSM for the entire campaign.
Repub candidates need to be VERY careful in answering questions about abortion. They need to have a standard response that cannot be turned into an adverse sound bite, and stay with it.
If you read up on him, you’ll understand why.
He fought for states rights and never owned a slave.
I’ll go for SOP.The damn shoe looks as though it is a fit for the SOPs.
Ha ha.
Do they really think that we are going to vote next time when they are doing nothing to prove to us that vote stealing,election stealing will be prosecuted and cleaned up. How can anyone go and vote on one of those default dem machines and all the other cheating that has been witnessed?
