I don't know about other places, but here in the northeast "Republican" is a dirty word; or at least Republicans think it is. This summer I saw John Faso (Republican gubernatorial candidate running against scumbag Spitzer in NY) campaigning outside Saratoga Racetrack. I didn't even know who he was. And his signs didn't help. "Meet John Faso" and "Faso for Governor." There was no mention that he was a Republican. I guess he ran away from that, straight into oblivion.

Here in NJ, the Kean for Senate signs contain no obvious references to the party that nominated him. His opponents signs proudly proclaimed "Democrat."

How can anyone possibly win if he is ashamed of his principal supporters?

Here in CT the republicans basically wrote off our senate candidate and campaigned for Lieberman. I almost drank the Lieberman Kool Aid because the only thing I knew about Schlessinger was he used a fake ID at Foxwoods. Finally, on election eve the local paper ran a side by side comparison on all the issues. Lo and behold there wasn't a dimes worth of difference between Lamont and Lieberman so I ended up voting for Schlessinger. Bottom line, if the republicans treated other races like they did in CT, its no wonder they got spanked.
