If you look at the PAC action....there’s around a dozen senators now who can force other members into a cooperative stance because they can arrive in a heated race and dump sudden cash onto a guy. We didn’t have this thirty or forty years ago....where a senator actually represented his state and his own lobbyists.

Walker is correct....but I don’t see how you force McConnell out or Harry Reid...other than waiting for them to pass on.

Well, it can happen....remember Eric Cantor?

Money is great and it used to usually work - nearly always. But money isn't helping Jeb Bush right now.

You force McConnell out and you force Boehner out by gathering together our own conservative PACs (we do have them, but their records are pretty piss poor with regard to supporting actual candidate, and getting them to do some hometown campaigning against the two instead of fundraising. You start by targeting the major employers in their state and district and getting to the workers with the truth. You could even start by organizing campaigns to major businesses where they live and remind them about customer satisfaction.

All this isn't easy and it takes determination and these conservative Tea Partyesque PACs would have to step up and actually do something. I don't know....this is all just a dream I have, about when people used to care and did what was right instead of just chasing money.
