BLAME STATE GOP

Mike Farris says that Republicans have one person to blame for their loss in Virginia's Senate race: John Warner. Yet it was the Virginia Republican Party that nominated the one politician with higher negative ratings than Chuck Robb: Oliver North.

Instead of pointing fingers, the state GOP should take a long, hard look in the mirror to discover the true source of its own problems.
