There's another thing going on here, too. If I heard correctly it seems that Christine won the Independent vote but NOT the *Republican* vote. If this is true then I go back to my first statements and blame Rove and the RINO elite. No question about it.
They should be able to hold their nose and vote "R" just like we do. They should NOT give the vote to a marxist. That is unforgivable. That is why we need to kill off the RINOs. They are not at all helpful to the conservative Constitutional cause.
Yes it does.
Competent Republican strategists don't trash one of their own after a primary.
Competent Republican candidates don't vote 75% liberal and then expect to win a Republican primary especially in this election cycle.
Competent Republicans don't fail to endorse one of their own after losing a primary.
