Conservative bloggers want Republican House campaign chairman Tom Cole (Okla.) replaced.

Frustrated by three special-election losses and the dour atmosphere surrounding congressional GOP candidates this year, online conservatives believe a Republican purge is in order if the party wants to salvage its long-term prospects on the Hill.

β€œ[Republicans] can continue on this course until November and embrace disaster,” wrote the directors of RedState, a leading conservative blog, β€œor they can clean house and bring a new direction to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).”

That new direction includes a new NRCC chairman and a commitment to an anti-earmark pledge, they wrote last week, after Democrat Travis Childers won in a special election the Mississippi seat held by Republicans for three decades.
