I think this post by Ramesh Ponnuru has it right: The Club for Growth may focus on economic policy, but they often don't win on taxes alone. Many of the Republicans they've defeated have been moderates across the board, and therefore the Club could count on help from pro-life and pro-gun activists. In this election cycle, they are also hoping for help from hawks, which is why they are targeting antiwar Republicans Wayne Gilchrest and potentially Walter Jones. The Club has had less success against the likes of Mike Huckabee.
