Are you saying she's the only Republican in that District? There is no other candidate that could run? In a case like this the Kentucky Republicans are in a great position to solidify the seat and put an end to the controversy by running an appealing candidate with no residency doubts who will in a special.
To be honest, I don't know of many electable Republicans in that district. It's definitely not our strongest area and not many people were giving Dana much of a chance up until the last few weeks. The coattails of President Bush, Congresswoman Northup and the same-sex marriage amendment definitely helped her out big time.
I hope that if there is a vacant seat they can find someone who would be good. I can guarantee they could be well-financed. Just need someone with some type of electable appeal.
