The question is why did the Republicans lose their runs for the Senate in Missouri and Indiana. The pat answer inside the Beltway is "abortion", ill-advised remarks by the Republican candidates. But Farm Policy reports on a Politico piece on the possibility of Sen. Cochran taking the ranking member role in Senate Ag, which includes this:
"“Boehner’s stand may have cost Republicans at least one if not
two Senate seats that the GOP had hoped to win in Great Plains states. And Roberts
argued Tuesday that the leadership must take a second look now at the
farm bill and its promised savings –a precious commodity given the
fiscal pressures at the end of the year.”
