Campaign managers for Chuck Smith in Virginia, Charlotte Bergmann in Tennessee and Marvin Scott in Indiana all said the support they've received from GOP leaders this cycle has been dismal. They added that there could be consequences for the party if they are elected to Congress next year....

"I think the Republican Party is going to damage themselves with the African-American community," Creeden said. "I understand part of it is they are focused on races they can win easily, but our point is we couldn't necessarily win this easily, but we can still win it. The effort to reach out to the African-American community will pay out in future elections....

She added that the GOP has created challenges for Smith, including pulling the campaign's access to a voter vault earlier this year.

And in case you're wondering what the repuke leadership's mindset could possibly be...

"We've been on this Fire Pelosi bus tour that has gone to all 48 states," Heye said. "It doesn't mean that we've been able to go to all 435 Congressional districts."

Party like it's 1959!!! :sarcasm:
