“The national GOP can’t abandon a locally-selected GOP candidate because they disagree with them on some issues.”

Then what you’re saying here is that the national GOP has no control over it’s own branding.

Somehow, I don’t quite think that’s the case.

Like I said above, it doesn’t need to be a straitjacket, but agreement on some broad parameters with where everyone else is.

So the GOP doesn’t have to embarass itself to it’s own base by failing to explain the fact of a DeDe.

And that IS the responsibility of Michael Steele…to protect and promote the brand.
