Republicans Beat Democrats in Recruiting for 2010 House and Senate Races

Posted June 10, 2009

Oh dear me...

The Republi party are in such a catastrophic decline EVERYWHERE that they have to CELEBRATE this totally content-free article. Another instance of how completely out of touch with reality they are. So the fact that they can find a candidate who is unopposed by other Republi candidates is a good thing? Or is it that there is just a mind-boggling lack of Republi candidates generally, let alone any good ones, and they are conveniently ignoring it and eagerly accepting any body with a pulse and 10 million dollars to waste losing to the other guy in the actual election.

You left a lot out

Dear Sir,

You appear to have forgotten Republican recruiting problems in Colorado, Nevada and Illinois (is Kirk running or isn't he?), as well as a divisive Republican primaries developing in Missouri and Utah. And the selection of Crist in Florida has riled the base, and promised to be expensive if the Club for Growth enters the fray. Would you care to update your article further, if only from the Senate side?
