By Matt Lewis - Politics Daily

When did class warfare, populism, and playing the victim card become conservative? I must have missed the memo, but somewhere along the way, many grassroots conservatives must have decided the name of the game is "Just win, baby!" Case in point: As Delaware's tight GOP primary race has heated up, it has become clear that many Christine O'Donnell apologists are utilizing the very tactics of the left to go after her critics (many of whom are solid conservatives).

By Matt Lewis - Politics Daily

There has long been tension between Republican leaders and movement conservatives, but efforts to elect Republicans in 2010 are doing nothing to bring the sides together.When Senator Arlen Specter switched parties, several prominent Republican leaders immediately urged Governor Tom Ridge, a Republican moderate, to run. It seems they weren't content to support the more conservative former Congressman Pat Toomey -- who was already in the race.
