Has anyone noticed this about their local election ads?

For state and local races, Republicans never identify themselves as a Republican. Inevitably the describe themselves as a "Hard-working Businessman fighting for ___________________".

If the Republicans were expecting such a landslide in 2010, wouldn't they shout their party affiliation from the rooftops?

1. They've been doing this for some time here in the west

Years back they went from 'Republican' to 'GOP,' but now there's rarely any affiliation.

Don't know about other places in the country

2. this is Illinois

We are Blue, but to be honest there are areas of the state that are so insanely right-wing that it makes Texas look liberal...
