NC-Sen: Liddy's Team Demoralized?

[ccharles000]

Sounds like they've lost that fightin' spirit:

Former Raleigh Mayor Tom Fetzer and fellow Republican strategist Mark Stephens plan to seek new ventures after the November election, Fetzer said Tuesday.
"We don't want to do campaigns anymore," said Fetzer. "We're old men, and this is a young man's game."

Both men are 53 years old. Fetzer and Stephens are both veterans of a host of Republican campaigns in North Carolina and are currently consultants to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's re-election effort. Fetzer served three terms as Raleigh's mayor in the 1990s.

Stephens was executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which helps orchestrate Republican senate races across the country, during the 2005-2006 election cycle, when Dole was the committee's chairwoman. Republicans lost their majority in the Senate in 2006.

After helping Liddy Dole fritter away the GOP's Senate majority two years ago and seeing Liddy's own numbers take a dive in recent weeks, I couldn't blame these gents for feeling a bit dispirited lately.
