Like Mark Kirk in IL and Manchin in WV, DE was also an immediate seating in the senate.
Yep.
Ya know how it goes, right? Yesterday's Magnificient Bastard is today's sell-out flake and sleazeball.
Yep, the GOP is dead...they just don’t know it yet.
Just exactly how many people do you think vote based on Karl Rove’s opinion?
Actually, Kirk voted against the treaty, and spoke in opposition to it. I think I prefer Kirk's stand on the treaty to Alexi Giannoulias', don't you?
The lesson from that transformation:
Don’t turn and viciously attack - your allies.
Rove did exactly that. He attacked the conservative in the race. With far more venom, than he directed at (any) liberal.
Just like John McCain.
Yep, the RINOs stopped a lot of conservatives from being elected.
Dude, there is no way O’Donnell would have won Delaware. She hadn’t worked since 2004 (instead she pulled the liberal move of suing her employer), was accused of living off of campaign contributions, and the blue collar voters of Delaware did not like that.
I’m not saying that Castle win would have been good for the GOP in the long run, but to believe that O’Donnell had a chance, and that somehow it’s all Karl Rove’s fault, is delusional.
It was a special election. But there was no chance she was ever going to win.
Dude.
Welcome to FR.
Thanks
So reviewing your posts, it seems you’ve got some pretty solid viewpoints, but you rush to defend Rove and belittle O’Donnell. And you signed up after the election.
Are you Rove?
I think Castle would have voted for the treaty. Gut feeling. He did vote for the Dream act and DADT repeal. Castle would have been much worse than Kirk, and thus I’d much rather have Coons and challenge Coons in 2014 with a real conservative, who unlike ODonnell can actually win.
You missed sentence #2, madam:
“and if you don’t realize this is sarcasm, you are too stupid to draw a breath”
That applies to all of you Kirkiebot Socialist Combiner shills especially.
I gotta admit, he’s a putz.
Karl Rove coudln’t have gotten Christine O’Donnell elected even if he’d managed her campaign personally. No one could have gotten her elected. I’m surprised this editorial was even posted.
Clever shot at Mark Kirk.
No, I’m not Rove. I know a decent amount about Delaware politics though (have a lot of family in that area). Unless you want to be in the pocket of JPMorgan, which Castle was, You need to connect with the blue collar voters of Delaware to carry that state. O’Donnell, because of her background, could not do that.
BTW, just as an aside, the reason that Castle supported cap and trade was not because he cared about the environment. He wanted to create a trillion dollar derivatives market for JPMorgan to play broker in. Trust me, I do not take Rove’s position that a Castle win would have been a good thing.
