2014 senators with "left-wing environmental agenda" in GOP's sights



FIRST LOOK—NRSC TO TARGET 2014 SENATORS ON CLIMATE: The National Republican Senatorial Committee will press Democratic senators up for reelection next year in red states to distance themselves from President Obama’s promise to tackle climate change. Votes for cap-and-trade sunk a bunch of House Democrats from coal country in 2010, and GOP leaders think this remains a winning issue in states with major domestic energy industries – including Louisiana, Alaska, Colorado and Montana. Energy is one of several issues, including guns, that Republicans hope Obama will force Democrats in competitive states to take unpopular positions on. "We hope that 2014 Democrats like Mary Landrieu and Max Baucus enjoyed the party circuit in Washington last night,” NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh tells Score, “but given President Obama's vow to pursue a left-wing environmental agenda that will kill jobs in their states and others, voters deserve to know exactly where their Senators stand.”

Love the way Albritton's POLITICO spins this shit. They're to the right of Attilla the Hun, the Albritton team, even as POLITICO tries to position itself as non-partisan.
