Week 6/Article: Republicans asked to bash Obama, not one another

Date: January 12, 2012
Author: Jonathan Weisman

The Republican National Committee gathered on January 11 to discuss the attacks of the Republican Candidates agains't each other. They stated that with the damage they causing on each other would only, in the end, help the Democrats win. “We need a better tone,” said Robin Hayes, a former congressman and North Carolina’s party chairman. “It needs to be constructive. It needs to be instructive. And it needs to be comparative with the president.” However, they would not do anything limit the number of attacks on Mitt Romney, the leading front runner in the primaries, so that he can go against Obama. “It’s pretty clear if Romney wins South Carolina or is a close second, then wins Florida, essentially we’ll have a presumptive nominee,”


I. The main problem addressed is the conflict between the GOP rivals.
II. N/A
III. N/A
IV. The information doesn't affect me and can't be used by me.
V. The author seems to take a negative position in this article. He explains how the candidates are actually doing bad or at least cites quotes of those who did state that. 
VI. The information from this article would negatively affect all the candidates. The candidates, while forgetting the goal of the larger picture, bring a reputable candidate to face Obama, instead are so worked up in trying to beat each other that while even if they're winning in the GOP candidate election, the republicans are losing in the Presidential Election.
