Inter-District GOP Message Discipline Fail

by: Dean Barker

Charlie Bass (temporarily out of hiding, to file for his run):
Repeal the health care bill,
Bob Bestani:
But repealing ObamaCare will take time and a massive political change in Washington. The Republican Party will need to win back the White House and take back both houses of Congress, with a substantial filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. Both of those are unlikely in the short and medium term. Let's not make a promise we cannot keep.

Charlie Bass:

"We should repeal the stimulus, and use the balance, which is quite substantial, to temporarily cut taxes on earned income, which will produce real jobs, quickly. 
Bob Bestani:
Secondly, there is the promise to roll back of the stimulus package. No one has been more publicly critical of the stimulus package than this author. But there is little left of the stimulus package to roll back. By the time the next Congress is sworn in over 90% of the 2009 stimulus package will have been spent. There is precious little that can be repealed. That horse has left the barn.

Finally, there is the promise of tax cuts. Of course, everyone wants to see tax cuts. But, with massive budget deficits running at every level of government, this promise is nothing short of a lie.

Bestani's poll numbers? (0.00 / 0)
Bestani's comments are interesting. What are his poll numbers like?

Do we know which Republican is likely to win the CD-1 primary?
