General Consultant Analysis Pt. 1

August 6, 2012 | Blog

Conservative voters discerning between candidates have started paying close attention to general consultants. Primaries are finally settled and we’re examining them. This week we’ll look at how consultants performed in contested House races.

First we look at total wins by each consultant.

Taking only consultants with at least 4 clients winnows our list to 11 consultants/groups. They are listed at the bottom of this post.

Some of these races were more competitive than others. Tomorrow we will see who performed in competitive races.
