The Victory Project was established to help fund “electable” future Republican candidates in the wake of a number of losses last year of candidates who were popular with the right wing of the Republican Party but did not prevail in the general election.

Let's gloss over the catastrophic failure at the top of the ticket, as well as old-timers Connie Mack, George Allen and Tommy Thompson, who all ran horrific campaigns and did nothing to contribute to success on the presidential level in their states. Clearly the problem is the guy in Missouri (who wan't even the tea party candidate in the first place in the primaries, by the way. It was a divided vote with the Huckabee religious coalition walking away with the primary win).

Thank you!!! When you have Allen West and Sarah Palin begging you to not run and you basically give them the finger as Akin in Missouri did, you can’t realistically call yourself a tea party member.
