	Republican Party - dKosopedia
		The Republican Party (often GOP for Grand Old Party) is a United States political party that was organized in Jackson, Michigan on February 28, 1854, as a party against the expansion of slavery.
		The Republican Party came to be split along new lines between a conservative wing (dominant in the West) and a liberal wing (dominant in New England) -- combined with a residual base of inherited Midwestern Republicanism active throughout the century.
		The seeds of conservative dominance in the Republican party were planted in the nomination of Barry Goldwater over Nelson Rockefeller as the Republican candidate for the 1964 presidential election.

	The Fix -- Chris Cillizza's Politics Blog on washingtonpost.com
		Republican strategists are extremely skeptical about any of the three returning to Congress in 2007 and may soon focus their resources elsewhere.
		Republicans admit this is a toss up race that is not helped by Foley scandal fallout, but they believe if Buchanan once again opens his checkbook the GOP will hold the seat.
		Republicans claim there has been no negative impact for Shaw from the Foley resignation but it seems altogether possible that the incident will be on voters' minds when they pick between the incumbent and Klein on Nov. 7.

	Media Mouse: Michigan Republican Party Organizing for Nader Ballot Access: Grand Rapids Michigan Indpendent Media
		The Republican Party is claiming that their efforts are combating disenfranchisement, with Greg McNeilly of the state GOP claiming in the San Francisco Chronicle that "unlike the Democratic Party, where 'D' stands for disenfranchisement, we want voters to have choices."
		The Michigan Democratic Party is demonstrating its willingness to engage in the vicious attacks that have characterized the national response third party and independent candidates this year, with Michigan Democratic Party Executive Chairman Mark Brewer claiming that "this clearly shows that a vote for Ralph Nader is a vote to reelect George Bush.
		The Republicans know that and that's why they are desperate have Nader on the Michigan ballot," echoing the pronouncements of Democratic Party members across the country who have erroneously claimed that the loss of the 2000 election in Florida was a result of Nader getting votes, rather than widespread voter disenfranchisement (source: MDP news release).
