Infighting could hurt Republican chances in midterms, RNC members say

[SecularMotion]

KANSAS CITY, MO. -- At a closed-door meeting on Thursday, members of the Republican National Committee rose to implore one another to stop dwelling on embarrassing leaks concerning the party and focus solely on winning in November.

Former New Hampshire governor John Sununu, chairman of his state party, shared the pledge that he has made to members in the Granite State: Set aside their disputes for now, win the midterm elections in November and then -- and only then -- "if we want to have a convention to argue among ourselves, we can do that."

.....

But under that confidence lies the anxiety that comes with high expectations and the deep desire not to somehow blow it. It's not an idle fear. Even as Republicans have claimed a few high-profile victories in the past year, the tenure of party Chairman Michael S. Steele has been most notable for gaffes and missteps.

That could be a problem.
