Leaders of the Republican establishment, alarmed by the emergence of far-right and often unpredictable Tea Party candidates, are pushing their party to rethink how it chooses nominees and advocating changes they say would result in the selection of less extreme contenders.
The push comes as the national Republican Party is grappling with vexing divisions over its identity and image, and mainstream leaders complain that more ideologically-driven conservatives are damaging the party with tactics like the government shutdown.
The debate intensified on Wednesday after Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, the deeply conservative Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, lost a close race in which Democrats highlighted his opposition to abortion in almost all circumstances, his views on contraception and comments in which he seemed to liken immigration policy to pest control.
The party leaders pushing for changes want to replace state caucuses and conventions, like the one that nominated Mr. Cuccinelli, with a more open primary system that they believe will draw a broader cross-section of Republicans and produce more moderate candidates.

Well, other than slavery, I don't know what the historic positions of the RAT party were. But I do know as far back as FDR with his Socialist Security, that the Socialists lightened up on running candidates, as the RATs were doing a fine job of promoting the progressive agenda.
Even now, if you go to either the Communist or Socialist Party websites you will see kudos to the RATs for their implementation of the progressive agenda.
Then there's the Progressive Caucus within the RAT caucus.
Well, isn't that what RINO means?
Run
No
Conservatives
Well, that's largely due to the fascistic practices of the Communists and the RATagandist media.
Look at all the conservatives they have already trashed, and they have been nonstop attacking, demonizing and ridiculing the TEAparty.
Any other new party will get the same treatment.
Hey Look...over there...it's:
THE BILDERBERGERS! OH NO!
The Trilateral Commission!
Yaaaaaaagh! Run for your lives.
Say Hi to Tim McVeigh for us.
And that is all you GOP party hacks and sycophants have; the chameleon-like ability to join the Communists and MarxoFascists in castigating those who refuse to play ball according to Ruling Class rules as a domestic terrorist - while pretending to dislike the same.
People like you just continue to illustrate the fact that the GOP and those supporting it are nothing but Judenrats for the MarxoFascists. At minimum, you're Tory loyalists to the D.C. Crown.
In fact, you just proved that point based on your comment.
All because I state the fact that stopping this tyranny is going to have to come from OUTSIDE the system the Ruling Class and MarxoFascists have corrupted for themselves. Elections and votes are now irrelevant, as is our voice in national politics via the existing means.
The Trilateral Commission!
Yaaaaaaagh! Run for your lives.
Just like a Liberal stooge from DeeCee.
Just another reason why the GOP and it's party hacks are indistinguishable from Leftists.
They employ the same exact ridicule tactics instead of addressing the substance of what is being discussed.
Hey genius, exactly where in anything I've ever posted online makes any reference to the groups you just mentioned???
Oh that's right - Alinsky didn't teach people like you how to have any integrity.
Oh No!
The New World Order!
Are those black helicopters?
Look out for the poison contrails, they’ve been spraying us for years.
And your solution is civil war? Don't call me names.
Hey look a flying saucer.
That’s all you got pal.
Your GOP-e masters have taught you well. When confronted with the truth - apply Alinsky and ridicule while continuing to espouse the need for everyone to vote for more Republicans and work within the party.
You have no clue pal.
None.
Moderates:
Dole
McCain
Romney
All loosers. Any questions?
I haven't said a thing on this thread about what 'my' solution is.
We know what yours is however;
Crouch down, lick the GOP-e master's hands, and wear their chains like newfound junk jewelry.
Don't call me names. Hey look a flying saucer.
That's hilarious coming from a guy who equates me with a domestic terrorist.
But Ruling Class Party Elitists and their drones are known for accusing those of that which they do themselves.
It's called projection pal. You do it well.
Not specifically, but it's "outside the system"
equates me with a domestic terrorist.
I never said as much...but if the shoe fits...
It's time to start shooting the bastards. We just got our awkwardness stripped from us in a hard way. Too late to work within the system.
Heh heh heh...
Not specifically, but it's "outside the system"
Well obviously feeble minds like yours can only entertain the idea that anything 'outside the system' means violence to achieve ends, which explains your inane suggestion I'm advocating 'civil war'.
I guess that speaks to your lack of education and woeful ignorance of facts, history and tactics.
*[ you] equate me with a domestic terrorist*.
I never said as much...but if the shoe fits...
Riiiight.
You never said as much.
And I guess Obama never said we could keep our doctors or health insurance if we liked them either.
Your statement I should say 'Hi' to Timothy McVeigh after 'blasting everyone' was 'mis-spoken' too - right?
How pathetic. You're either still living in your parent's basement and barely out of your teens, or you haven't figured out how not to debate like a liberal retard.
Please, extricate your head out of the GOP-e's arse, because we can't tell where they end and Leftists begin. They sound alike, and you right along with them.
INVAR didn’t propose that, I did.
Here come the new black Chevys. Sigh.
I'm also glad that we will win.
You don’t have a solution.
Good thinking Einstein.
