This is stupid argument. COD had millions of dollars thrown at her by Tea Party supporters and made a big name (notorious one) and lost in a cycle that was a wave for the GOP.

This year alas is NOT a GOP wave.

On the contrary, this is another 2000-type close race, and we got punk’d.

I am very disappointed. And if Akin and Mourdock both lose, MORE disappointed, because bascially socialists can win Colorado but conservatives cant win Indiana and Missouri. WTF?!?

You got punked by Mitt Romney with his support of Abortion and the Gay Agenda, and his total lack of limited Government credentials.

He was just a piss-poor candidate period.

Given the horrible record of Obama, this would have been a cake-walk for an actual Republican.

But so did Mitt Romnney. Mitt Romney had endless amounts of money -- and early on, which O'Donnell did not have.

As of September 14, 2010, Christine O'Donnell had only $20,000 on hand and had run a shoe-string operation throughout the year.

The credit card companies did not release the funds raised after the primary until almost September 30, 2010.

Mitt Romney began a year ago flush with cash and the ability to loan himself as much as he wanted.

Super-PAC's spent hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Mitt Romney.

So I fail to see how this factor supports your view. Mitt Romney had far more money, even adjusting for the scale of the different races, for a year instead of a month, and far more outside money supporting him.

Yet Mitt Romney got the same 40% that Christine O'Donnell got -- in spite of massive attacks, nastiness, in-fighting and some major mis-steps.

In spite of the clear and deliberate sabotage by the NRSC getting Fred Davis into Christine's campaign to make the "witch" ad -- over Christine's objections -- Christine O'Donnell got the same 40% in 2010 as Mitt Romney in Delaware in 2012.

and made a big name (notorious one)

Mitt Romney has a big name, and has had a big name for decades.

There is no such thing as a "wave" year or cycle. Each State is different.

The "wave" you refer to was Republicans making the 2010 election a referendum on Barack Obama.

In 2010, in Delaware, Barack Obama's approval was 57% -- exactly the same percentage of the vote the Democrat candidate got to fill Vice President Joe Bidens seat.
