HONOLULU — The Republican National Committee, pressed to find a way to more clearly distinguish itself from Democrats, on Friday adopted a rule that will prod GOP leaders to provide financial support to only those candidates who support the party’s platform. The resolution, enacted by voice vote with no opposition at the party’s winter meeting here, is an alternative to a more stringent proposal that would have required GOP candidates to support 10 policy positions if they wanted party help. That proposal, sponsored by Indiana RNC member James Bopp and backed by the RNC’s more conservative members, was strongly opposed by party Chairman Michael Steele and a group of state party chairs.

One of the nation’s largest unions is making a significant ad purchase targeting four Democrats and one Republican Senator on the Employee Free Choice Act. The Service Employees International Union is, according to an aide, putting “well more than $100,000″ behind online ads and similar promotional activities designed to turn up the heat on members of Congress whose support for EFCA is tepid or non-existent. Targeting Democratic Senators Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Jim Webb of Virginia, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, as well as Republican David Vitter of Louisiana, the message is at once effective and sharp: To oppose the labor-backed legislation would be to side with the institutions that create the current economic malaise.
