#1 The issue has never been whether candidates to the right of the GOP incumbent can defeat him in a primary - sometimes they can, and sometimes they can't.

#4 Zhang Fei, I think it's better to give voters a choice and when you have a Democrat against a RINO that's not much of a choice. We need candidates who can speak very clearly about the differences between conservatives and liberals so that voters can truly understand the issues.

#5 In fairness, Heller dug his own grave with his back-and-forth on Obamacare. Maybe it's time to let Tarkanian run with the ball.

#6 In NV - it's basically the rest of NV vs. Vegas Unions (especially SEIU and Hotel Workers)
