It's always been their strategy. It's that fiendish Rove again. With the weak candidates in the primaries I believed they sold out on the White House along time ago, like since 2009. So their focus has been to gain and hold at least one branch of Congress as an obstruction. They pay lip service to Mitt but the big money is going to down stream elections.

Great News! Should help down-ticket. corkhead Sep 2012 #1
