NRCC Young Guns Shoot Blanks Again and Again

Continuing the record of NRCC failure in getting who they believe to be the strongest candidate through competitive Republican primaries, NRCC Young Gun Michele Rollins failed to win her primary in Delaware’s at large district. Rollins lost to Tea Party candidate Glen Urquhart, an extremist who compared liberals to Nazis and said there should be no exception for rape when it comes to abortion.

It's deja vu all over again in NY-23. Though he narrowly lost to the NRCC’s preferred candidate Matt Doheney Tuesday night, Tea Party candidate Doug Hoffman will be running as a third party candidate on the Conservative Party line.

Below are the other NRCC chosen candidates that have lost their races in 2010:

DE-AL – Michele Rollins

CA-19 – Richard Pombo

IA-02 – Rob Gettemy  

SD-AL – Blake Curd

IA-03 - Jim Gibbons  

VA-08 – Matthew Berry  

IL-14 – Ethan Hastert  

KY-03 – Jeff Reetz  

PA-04 – Mary Beth Buchanan 

AZ-08 - Jonathan Paton

ID-01 – Vaughn Ward  

AL-05 – Congressman Parker Griffith
