Also... all of the real hardcore gop/e pundits are stating on Fox that it was the TEA Party and the Conservatives that cost mitt this election... we are unbending and uncompromising and we will not reach out to the center... like the center is anywhere near where the communist bastards reside... and the dim pundits smiled and nodded lovingly in agreement... yeah... we did all that we were asked to do and more... and in return... we first got a knife in the back in the primary... and then the sorry bastards lost our country.

Also might note the Mormon sponsored candidates continued to lose outside of their intramountain fastness.
So, who were they? Well, there's the obvious guy, Romney, but several of the Senate candidates got there thanks to financing that helped move aside some high seniority senators who would have otherwise competed with Orin Hatch ~ who became, with their removal, the seniormost Republican Senator, and if you have that exalted position you have more sayso on who will be committee chairmen than any other senator.
Well, no worry there, they didn't follow up by financing the guys they'd pushed in the primaries ~ rather like an ore carrier in a high wind cut loose from its moorings on the Great Lakes, ploughing through all before it until it crashes on the rocks.
They'll have to learn to look ahead 3 or 4 steps to get this outside politics part right ~ it's not enough to control who gets to be the candidate, you must support the candidates you put in place or they lose!
