House Republicans are scrambling to come up with answers after one of the most devastating electoral losses in recent memory.
During a conference meeting on Wednesday, House GOP members attempted to get a handle on the loss of now-Sen. Roger Wicker’s (R-Miss.) former House seat. They also are grappling with what changes, if any, to make to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
One such possibility deals with speculation that NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (Okla.) would be replaced by former NRCC Chairman Tom Davis (Va.).
According to a copy of House Minority Leader John Boehner's (R-Ohio) talking points, one possible query, written under the heading, “Possible Tough Questions,” reads, “Are the results in [Mississippi] another indication that 2008 is setting up to be a disastrous year for House Republicans?
“Our leadership team and our members just had one of the most candid and open meetings we’ve ever had,” read the talking points, presumably prepared before the meeting. “And we made this commitment: We’re getting up off the mat to fight, and we’re going to prove to the American people that we are the agents of change they expect their Washington leaders to be.” |
