State GOP uses Specter defection to attack Harry Reid and raise money

The news wasn't a few hours old when Chairwoman Sue Lowden sent out a missive kicking Arlen Specter out the door, tying him to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and trying to raise money off the news:

My fellow Nevadans:

Today, U.S. Senator Arlen Specter turned his back on the Republican Party to join Harry Reid and his Democrat colleagues Charles Schumer, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd and Patrick Leahy.

Can Palin power save the GOP?

By Wally Edge

Everyone knew that the GOP was going to end up losing most key races in Nevada this year. Everyone knew that the momentum on a national level was for the Dems. That the GOP here was seen as inept, even by their own party.
