Karen Handel, Former Susan G. Komen Executive, Reportedly Considering Senate Bid
Karen Handel, the former Susan G. Komen for the Cure executive who drove the charity's attempt to defund Planned Parenthood, is considering running for U.S. Senate in Georgia, according to one of her former aides.
Shes considering it, Rob Simms, a Republican campaign consultant who worked on Handels unsuccessful run for governor in 2010, told the Weekly Standard.
If she ran, she would be going up against Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), whom Roll Call reported may be vulnerable to a primary challenge from the right, given his "willingness to reach across the aisle and his comfort with the idea of compromise."
While she could possibly win in Georgia, this just shows how little the Republicans learned from the last election.
Republican opposition to Planned Parenthood is killing them amongst young women. Republicans crashed and burned amongst young women this last election and now they are doubling down on stupid.
And, the idea of attacking another Republican because they are willing to compromise, or in other words, govern, just continues the discredited idea that by continuing to refuse cooperation the Republicans are going to pick up votes. On the contrary, the refusenik Republicans are one of the driving reasons many independents said they voted for Democrats.
