The Vail Spot: National GOP Absent In Mass Senatorial Special Election

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

National GOP Absent In Mass Senatorial Special Election

The National GOP committees are completely absent from the Massachusetts Senatorial special election.

GOP U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown has been all but abandoned by the same national Republican committees that pumped hundreds of thousands in campaign cash to former governors Mitt Romney and William Weld during their long-shot bids for U.S. Senate.

The snub has outraged local Republicans who say national conservatives should be jumping at the chance to nab the first open Senate seat in decades despite Brown’s tough odds in the Jan. 19 special election.

This is a shame given that the national committees backed Scozaffava in NY-23, even when she was far less of a Republican than Mr. Brown is. This is why I've become very disenchanted with the various national GOP committees.
