GOP Will Fight for More Electable Candidates in Primaries

“Amid the ongoing war within the GOP, the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is signaling a more aggressive approach in trying to get its favored candidates through contentious primaries in 2014,” NBC News reports.

“The approach is a switch from previous cycles, when the NRSC has stayed out of open contested primaries. A number of hard-line conservative candidates won primaries in 2010 and 2012 but went on to lose general elections. And this time, the GOP is facing several potentially messy primary fights — and again staring down third-party groups that are working to elect more conservative or Tea Party-backed candidates instead.”
