We need to figure out how to win in states like Virginia without the RNC. On one hand, the money helps, on the other, I don’t want my elected officials owing the RNC any favors, which is the only reason why people like Ted Cruz can speak up.

The GOP is determined to remain a “centrist” party even if they have to lose to do it.

In 2008 the GOP stripped my “lost cause” incumbent conservative congressman of funds in the final weeks of the election. He lost the race by a whopping 2% of the vote and we got a democrat who immediately got on board and voted for Obamacare.

RE :”
McAuliffe outraised Cuccinelli by almost $15 million, and he used the cash advantage to pummel him on the airwaves. A lack of resources forced the Republican to go dark in the D.C. media market during the final two weeks.
The Republican National Committee spent about $3 million on Virginia this year, compared to $9 million in the 2009 governors race. “ Levin's been ranting about this for days but it begs the question (that I had when listening so I can post it here),
if the whole plan is for conservatives to ditch the GOPe to beat Dems then does it make sense to blame lost elections like this on lack of help from them?
If we dont need them then how can we blame losses on them for not helping enough?
I am glad it wasnt a landslide for McAuliffe, that would have been a disaster.

Not hopeless. Let Ken run for Senate and allow TEA across the nation to fund him. If everyone knew how close this was going to wind up beforehand, money would have flowed like a river and he would have gotten 50%.

I haven’t given money to them since ‘08. Finally not getting the calls and envelopes in the mail anymore. Not a dime. Until they change their ways.

The point is that we need to defund the RNC and Karl Rove and also send them a message by primarying McConnell, Graham, Cornyn, Alexander and the rest of the GOP-e sleazes.

If we dont need them then how can we blame losses on them for not helping enough? It's the hypocrisy. WE need to unify with THEM, to support RINO primary winners, but it doesn't work the other way.

We DID win VA without the RNC! RAT-funded Sarvis Peroted McA to win with what, couple hundred thousand votes? You don’t think those stay-at-homes wouldn’t get out and vote, realizing how much closer it was than they imagined?

It was an easy decision for the RNC to make:
Money for Obama Pal and establishment pol, Chris Christie?
Or
Money for Ken Cuccinelli, favorite of the despised Tea Party?

The corporist pigs like the Chamber would rather have a Dem than a conservative. It’s all about pork to them. They have become nothing more than prostitutes at this point.
