Donald Trump gave Republicans the template. The Tea Party and conservative voters want them to stop hiding behind mealy-mouth rhetoric when it comes to Obama. They want candidates to go on offense. It was reflected in Trump's fleeting - albeit mildly shocking - flirtation with being at the top of the polls. Some candidates ignored the template - see Tim Pawlenty - while others just didn't have the star power to get noticed. Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is a freshman but he certainly knows how to go on offense with Barack Obama.
