And a lot of them (senators anyway) have to get reelected in blue states. It seems like 25 republican senators are up for reelection in 2016, some swept in by tea party mania.

I don't think out 'mean spiriting' the next guy is gonna yield a victory for them. Democrats vote during presidential election years so house members will be more vulnerable too.

This is their chance to show their stuff. I expect that they will blow it.

Imitation, indeed. I don't think any sane person will fall for it though. Tarheel_Dem Jan 2015 #6
