House GOP Concludes They Failed to Sway Voters

Thursday, June 26, 2008 8:00 PM

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans reviewing their recent election defeats have concluded their customary campaign themes failed to sway the voters and their candidates could not overcome negative perception of the national party.

An internal review says GOP candidates must show deep empathy towards the voters in November. The report was ordered by party leaders in the wake of losses of formerly safe seats in Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Republicans reviewed their defeats as Democrats disclosed they intend to spend heavily this fall in three competitive seats in New York, Oregon and Colorado. Officials said the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had reserved a combined $4 million worth of television advertising time.
