After losing their third special election loss in recent weeks, Mike Allen says there are "whispers among some House Republicans" about trying to replace Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) with Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), "who was NRCC chairman from 1998 to 2002."
In addition, Allen says House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) "also has to watch his back" since House conservatives are "especially restive."
Cole, as Marc Ambinder notes, pushed the panic button last night "warning his incumbents and challengers: change or die."
This should go well:
“He then spoke of the need to “re-brand” the party in the likeness of McCain” - Tom Cole
“November could be a bloodbath if Obama doesn’t hurt the Dems nationally.”
He will hurt them.
Don't be so sure. MS-01 is rock-ribbed Republican -- went for Bush by 25 points -- and the NRCC ran $1.5 million worth of ads linking the Democrat Childers to Obama and Jeremiah Wright. Yet we still lost last night by 9 points. I'm not under any illusions that Obama will win MS-01 -- he won't -- but he may not hurt Democrats on the underticket.
Turnout will be higher in November and lots can happen in 6 1/2 months.

It’s not just AK at-large, also WY at-large that may be lost.
