I wonder if the reason Pat Roberts won in Kansas was because the Tea Party challenger is a third cousin to that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? Many probably held their noses when they voted for Roberts.
Wolf actually did well and outperformed many expectations. The bigger issue is how to get the message out to more GOP voters. We have low info voters, too, who show up at the polls but know little other than a name they heard in the news headlines.
I can’t tell you how many really solid reliable conservatives I know who voted for Romney in the 2012 primary because ‘we need more business people running government’. These are individuals as conservative as you and me but busy with their daily lives...running their business, kids, etc.
