How do you figure, RV? The House picked up seats in this election and Romney and McCain are both moderates and both lost. The only reason West and Love lost is that Democrats poured money into their districts because their is nothing more threatening to them than a black conservative.

One thing that we do agree on, is that McConnell-types do not should not be the face of the party. The GOP needs some leaders than can draw cameras and crowds when they speak. People who can articulate the traditional American values of personal and economic liberty, a strong work ethic, and real sense of community that socialism drains from a population. McConnell may do a fine job counting noses behind the scenes but he is a dull guest on the weekly talk shows where Republicans need some prime time players.

So true, there are things that one can say, and there are things one cannot say, especially those on the right. If you're a right thinking politician, even a senate minority leader this case, one cannot say "my number one priority is making sure president Obama's a one-term president." They were able to sell the notion that the republicans were the problem in congress because of that one unfortunate statement. Same thing with Todd Akins and Richard Mourdock. You never put something like that out there when everything you say is recorded. It really is amature hour these days.
