A year after an expected "red wave" turned into a ripple, conservatives' election messaging in 2023 sought to adjust to emerging realities.
In Ohio, strategists tried to sidestep a direct vote on abortion rights like the one that took place on Tuesday. In Virginia, the popular Republican governor sought to embrace a showdown over the issue -- while trying to redefine the terms of a polarizing debate. And in Kentucky, a rising-star Black Republican ran for governor defending his state's abortion ban while opening the door to new exceptions.
None of those choices appear to have worked for the GOP on Tuesday.

It doesn't help Republicans either when you have people like Rick Santorum say: "And you put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot, and a lot of young people come out and vote -- it was a secret sauce for disaster in Ohio. I don't know what they were thinking. But that's why I thank goodness that most of the states in this country don't allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country."
I'm not sure how marijuana or abortion are "sexy" topics...and he thinks a pure democracy isn't the way to run a country....hmm. What would he prefer?
