This goes along with what I stated in the other thread -- only Romney has a chance to beat Obama.
Also, remember how closely tied the other races are to the Presidential race. If the GOP nominates someone who proves to be unpopular with the electorate, they will respond by taking down the party's Congressional candidates as well.
