Fresh on the heels of his suggestion that what Republicans really need to do is be more "hip-hop," GOP Chair Michael Steele has another great suggestion- run primary candidates against the only GOP Senators who have regularly won elections in blue states- the pro-stimulus Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter.
Let's think about this for a minute- in the 2008 elections, Maine went for the Dems 58-41. That's 17 points. So Steele's great idea is to try to either weaken Snowe or Collins or replace them with more conservative candidates? Ditto for PA, where Obama won 55-44.
Says NRSC head Jon Cornyn: "We need to be finding candidates that can win in different parts of the country ... not forming circular firing squads, especially when our numbers are so small."
