“We need more voices,” said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, one of the party’s up-and-coming leaders. “Our party’s challenge has been that we need to be more inclusive — we need to attract the middle again. ...

He is from VA. From what I read, McDonnel doesn't turn left; yet, he might win the race next month. Meanwhile, the model for 'moderate', McCain, failed miserably last year, and Crist, another model for 'moderate', might lose the primary next year. The latest polls show that both Rubio and Crist do well in the general. So, why do we need to turn left?

...McDonnell is now 14 points ahead of Comrade Deeds(D). Worried about the impending last minute “macaca” moment the libs WILL find and present 5 days before election. On the other hand, Deeds is very unpopular with blacks and a recent poll found that there’s a percentage of BO voters disenchanted with the “one” and will stay home! (I work for McDonnell) Fairfax County (Northern Va lib hang out) endorsed McDonnell!! So did lib Hampton Roads!!

“We need more voices...”

Someone isn’t paying attention. Politico is asking you GOP leaders to make your base SHUT UP and GO AWAY. Those private citizens out there are making it hard for the leftists and RINO’s to get things done.

We don't. McCain lost the election because the interminable war in Iraq lost the support of the "Jacksonian" segment of the electorate. McCain, Graham, and the rest are simply wrong.

Cantor didn’t say we needed to turn left, and he’s not a lefty. He’s nowhere near McCain. I think what he means is that we should use our traditional values to attract people who are shocked and sickened by what they’re seeing in DC.

Why does the GOP leadership think we need to turn left?

Easy. They seek the approval of the Washington DC elites. They want to be spoken of well in the WaPo and NYT ed pages.
