Massachusetts GOP Chairman Jennifer A. Nassour
By Ralph Z. Hallow and Donald Lambro THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele is working behind the scenes to unify state GOP leaders around an anti-spending, small-government theme for the 2010 midterm elections, seeking to shunt family values to second-tier status in pursuit of independent voters whose economic fears cost Democrats in Tuesday's elections
Massachusetts GOP Chairman Jennifer A. Nassour and GOP leaders see independent, moderate voters who swing elections as ripe and want to ensure the Republican Party is best positioned to pick off their support.
"If I had to focus on the issues we should run on next year," they would be "spending, jobs, big government and taxes. That's what people are talking about," Mrs. Nassour said.
Exit polls showed that independent voters, who powered President Obama and Democrats to victory in 2008, rushed to Republicans on Tuesday by a 2-to-1 margin, delivering a landslide victory to Republican Robert F. McDonnell over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds in Virginia's gubernatorial contest and upending incumbent New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. Republican Chris Christie won the solidly blue state.
