We shouldn't be primarying candidates in R+2 districts. This just makes the Party look bad, and possibly throws away a seat.

It's actually higher than R+2 now, because the district's results stayed almost the same, while the national results moved toward the Democrats by 9 points.

It's about R+8 this election cycle.

Even more of a reason, then, not to primary him. We can't go out primarying incumbents in McCain districts. In the end, it will only hurt us.
