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 governor’s 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.

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.

It's the hypocrisy. WE need to unify with THEM, to support RINO primary winners, but it doesn't work the other way.

Do you think any of the Koch money went to christie? Since they are branded as ultra-conservative satans by the lefties— would they not adhere to TEA principles and goals.
THIS is how to direct the funds. The problem is the “pro” morons like Rove. And. the. Bushes.

The real issue, I think, is different though. It appears that the RNC made a decision early on that the VA Gov race was a lost cause to some reason, and decided to allocate even more funds to the NJ race (which, like the NY mayorial race, was basically a no-brainer). That's just bad politics- you allocate resources to where candidates who are behind can use them.

And I will ask for the umpteenth time (not to you personally, but in general)- we learned after the 2012 presidential race that the Romney internal pollsters had no idea what they were doing. With the VA race this close in the end... Who the h-ll is doing such a poor job of internal polling for the GOP??!!!
