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.

The liberal war on women they disagree with rages on.

I don't think she's ever going to have any grass growing under her feet.

"Their" being the operative word.
I guess you're right being that Affirmative Action started with Richard Nixon.

Well, at least she hasn't mentioned "legitimate rape" (yet)!

I guess you expect Republicans to choose black Democrats.

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.
RNC needs you as strategist.

Nah, black Democrats are much too "uppity" for Republicans. Even folks like Ms Love are only 'tolerated' in the GOP as long as they're useful and know how to "mind their place".

Or to quote the inimitable Ann Coulter, "Our Blacks Are Better Than Theirs!"

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.
