Sentiment: POSITIVE
The real fight is within the Republican Party to get it to nominate grassroots-type candidates who the public wants, and not just some 'echo' of the other side.
The caricatures that the mainstream media and the Democrats have about Republicans have taken hold.
The voice of the Republican party is up for grabs. It's a contest right now.
I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.

It's time for an end to the Republican-on-Republican violence.
