GOP Down Ticket Problems

Politico has a good story about how national Republicans are worried that key Senate and House races will be adversely affected either because some super-blue states like California and New York have become "orphans" within the GOP, other state parties, like those in Nevada and Iowa are deeply in debt, and in Ohio, the state party is engaged in an internicene war. Elections are not only about ideas, but about how each party can effectively communicate those ideas, turn out their voters, etc. With control of both houses in play this autumn, especially the Senate, the party that does the best job allocating its resources may come out on top.
