Cornett: There Aren’t Many Successful Mayors Who Are Coming At It From The Right
Politico: GOP big-city mayors vanish
By Alexander Burns
The Republican Party’s image is in a ruinous condition, as polls show wide public disapproval of the GOP that has only deepened in the wake of the government shutdown, and concern over whether Republicans are too ideologically hardline to govern.
For Republican politicians in America’s big cities, that grim state of affairs might be called “the usual.”
Largely unnoticed in Washington, urban Republican politicians have emerged over the last year as perhaps the nation’s most severely endangered political species, as the party has either failed to compete for high-profile mayor’s offices or has been soundly rebuffed by voters. It’s a significant setback that some Republicans view as an ominous sign for the GOP in a country growing steadily more urban and diverse.
Big problem, Mr. Burns w/this article: your “source” = Politico
Politico has NEVER failed to genuflect/Lewinski every left-leaning loon in politics…what a joke.
