There needs to ba a Republican *charm school* where candidates and wanna be candidates can go to smooth over their rough edges. Every Republican should know that the media will ask tough questions on abortion, creationism etc. Republicans should know how to finesse those kinds of questions.
yep, GOPsterin suggested something like this the other day.
Here's a couple of common sense rules:
1) The first commandment should be : Don't insult the voters you need to get you elected.(Ironically Romney and Angle both broke this one, and Akin too)
2) Don't be more effective at rallying voters to vote against you than you are to rally voters to vote for you.
And since in many areas there are more registered Dems than registered Rs then #1 is required to follow #2.
Here's the more popular excuses that I have read so far:
1) Voter fraud(right after this election this was #1)
2) the MSM (always the most popular)
3) The establishment stopped supporting them
(I saw this one today a bunch)
Here's one floating around here that they been hearing on talk radio (so it must be true): If only Scott Brown was a real conservative like Angle or Akin he would have won MA. What kind of hopeis there with thinkin like that?
