The Republicans have put up decent candidates in WA state. It's OR where the state party is basically dead. In WA, the problems for the Republicans are:
1) They elect their governors in presidential years
2) The two is essentially split and very polarized; the western half is far bigger (liberal) politically and in population size
3) Republicans who run, have to move to the right in the primary and then try to moderate in the general election. Too late. How many times from Slade Gorton to Rossi and going forward have the WA state Republicans tried this and lost?
VT is probably the best answer, but you have to win >50% I believe in VT to win. Thus, in a 3-way race, a non-incumbent republican is not likely to get that.
