I do not like the idea of trying to play in their primaries with robocalls or ads. It's definitely an away game. Could backfire.  Esp. if we mess around with imigration. 

Now, earned media is another matter, especially around the ethics issue. (Hypocrisy re loibbyists, special favors for the telcomm guy who gave to him, etc.). Did that move Repubs in the survey?  Has CREW done a report on McCain and ethics?

Let's assume we have the resources for planning purposes.

I would not say crisis, but they are clearly not doing the job they need to do.  To this seriously, you are talking major resources, not just a game.  stan

 We should take another swing at the immigration angle.
 
 I think this is a crisis. We need to ring the alarm bell. But I'm not sure how we could affect the GOP primary? Earned media play on McCain and immigration. Robocalls to suppress his vote? Turnout evangelicals for Huck?
