Who gets the fiscal conservatives?
Who's a real fiscal conservative? Turns out fiscally conservative voter is up for grabs:
Many Republicans blame runaway federal spending and corruption for part of the party's 2006 congressional losses, and Mr. Toomey's group has numbers to back it up. Polling done for the club in key swing congressional districts during the weekend before the elections showed voters viewed Democrats as more likely than Republicans to be fiscally responsible.
"Republicans gave up that brand, which is devastating for the party," Mr. Toomey said.
Some Republicans are trying hard to win the brand back.
It's obviously too late for some to retake the mantle of fiscal conservatism. In Kentucky, only one of ten candidates even appears to be trying to appeal to fiscal conservatives.
