Republicans Impatient With House Leadership
After losing their third special election loss in recent weeks, Mike Allen says there are "whispers among some House Republicans" about trying to replace Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) with Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), "who was NRCC chairman from 1998 to 2002."

In addition, Allen says House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) "also has to watch his back" since House conservatives are "especially restive."

Cole, as Marc Ambinder notes, pushed the panic button last night "warning his incumbents and challengers: change or die."

The "establishment" here keeps being upset in races they think they've got nailed. Yesterday, Dan Greear beat Hiram Lewis in the state AG primary, and we had a few similar upsets for the establishment annointed candidates, in addition to the convention day whomping of Romney by the Huckabee/Paul alliance.

Of course it's worth mentioning that our own Ed Burgess (http://www.burgesswv.com/) won his primary, too.
