REAL CLEAR POLITICS
-- Losing Candidates Under The Bus - Reid Wilson
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/politics_nation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: GOP strategists have excused their party's poor performance in previous special elections by blaming flawed candidates. After the loss in Illinois, Boehner reportedly told members at a closed conference meeting that Jim Oberweis, the Republican candidate, lost his home precinct by a four-to-one margin. That statistic was repeated religiously by Republican members and staff in subsequent conversations with the media. The problem, though, is that Oberweis won his home precinct by an approximately three-to-two margin.)
