Where's the Republican Response?

If you have a chance, stop by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee website.The latest article is one that rebukes Democratic complaints of cronyism and incompetency within the GOP. Ironically, hours after the article was published, their leader was indicted on charges of conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.

What is the best approach for the GOP? What issue could sway distract voters from the scandal? Hurricanes on the Gulf Coast? Probably not such a good idea. Social Security reform? Not so good either. Iraq...?

The Republicans need to invent a new issue if they want to come out of the 2006 midterms alive.
