Dismal special election record hampers GOP's 2010 comeback - TheHill.com

THE "UGLY" PRIMARY
Some people say that the Republicans haven’t learned from their losses in three conservative districts. Even as it rebounds in other ways, the GOP could lose its fifth of five big special elections in two years. The blame goes to something insiders are calling the "ugly primary" where the losers refuse to back the party and fracture the vote. Others fear it just signals the battle between pragmatism and idealism that currently roils the Republicans.
