Republicans MIA on gun rights

This is why the Republicans have trouble winning elections.

In Colorado the voters recalled two Democrat legislators that were instrumental in passing rigid gun control legislation and replaced them with Republicans.  It was strictly a grassroots and NRA effort.  No help from the national Republican party.  Rush Limbaugh said today on his program:

"I don't see any evidence the Republican Party had much to do with what happened in Colorado."

The caller replied:

"A guy borrowed money from his grandmother to start this recall when we were told by the GOP that this was not in their strategic plan."

The Democrats out spent the grassroots folks and the NRA five-to-one despite the fact Mayor Bloomberg of New York City contributed large sums to support the Democrats.

Will this serve as a wake up call to the GOP?  I doubt it.  They just can't get their heads wrapped around the fact the grassroots conservative folks, including the TEA Party, are a viable voting block that can carry them to victory over the Democrat liberals.
