It's about time. After losing by 700+ votes in 2012 she is poised to become the US rep for Utah's 4th CD. Don't misunderestimate her.
With so much name recognition already, a single digit lead against a relative unknown like Owens, ain't that much to brag about. Although it probably hasn't hurt that she's also toned down much of her previous tea bagger rhetoric.
There was another thread about what the GOP needs to do to retake the WH. Messaging is everything. They need to hire the best PR people they can find, to teach Republican candidates how to effectively communicate their increasing diversity in a way that resonates with the public. GOP candidates also need to be disciplined in their communications (ie. there is always a hot mic in the room, don't say stupid sh*t, speak to everyone and not just your base).
The GOP has an "old white men" reputation when the reality is (increasingly) different. That's a messaging problem and they need to fix that. The GOP doesn't need to pander or cater or suck up or change what they believe in, in order to win. They need to figure out how to connect with people in meaningful ways through all media that people now use. Hire some excellent PR - social media - communications people.
And then just be focused, unafraid and tell the truth.

Who are you quoting here? Who said "tolerated" or "mind their place." You do understand the use of quotation marks, do you not? It means that you are repeating words that were previously spoken or written by someone.
