...remembering the dashed expectations of recent election cycles in which the national party's refusal unite behind Tea Party candidates who had won GOP primaries torpedoed their chances.

The MSM is a big factor in Senate races, because there are only 33, and many of those are not competitive to begin with.

Many of these Tea Party Senate candidates were not prepared for the kind of onslaught the MSM can deliver, and via poorly delivered statements, actually supplied the ammo for Democrat campaign adverts. That was never shown so well as in Indiana where Murdoch ran 10 points BEHIND lame Romney.

It’s very disappointing to see them not prepped to deal with issues that are talked about on Limbaugh and FR every day.
