| Description | The Foley page scandal means Republicans have new reason to worry about two key constituencies: Christian conservatives and suburban soccer moms.
Conservatives are already turned off by high federal spending, illegal immigration and inaction on a number of social issues. Suburbanites, meanwhile, complain of a party agenda that is too beholden to the conservatives on issues such as federal funding for stem-cell research. Now the Foley fallout has united both Republican voter groups in anger.
“I think there’s more pain to come” for Republicans, says party pollster Tony Fabrizio. With clients among House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates in places such as suburban Philadelphia and swing-state Minnesota, he adds, “I’m very much watching how these things play out.” |
