I think it is right to place blame , but on who? I will blame moronic, ticket splitters. And the RNC.
Self destruct in MO, blow it in IND where Romney won as well. Cannot make a good case to voters in WVA . At least we won NV senate.
Reminds me of the 1986 GOP Senate election disasters of 1986! Awful incumbents could not be relected without Reagan. .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_1986 So many narrow loses.
Any chance for this fate to those elected 2008 with BHO?
We here in Louisiana plan to make a unified and systematic effort to take out Mary Landrieu in 2014.
Heidi will be a sure vote for obama’s carbon tax against big agriculture and his EPA’s stranglehold on the Keystone pipeline and midwest energy fields
well done, NoDaks
May you reap what you chose
Voter fraud in the Senate too. This election steal was very well orchestrated.
Many of these states that always vote Republican for president have preferred liberal Demo senators. Makes no sense but it’s been the case for decades. When Conrad retired I thought the GOP finally gets a chance at another seat in ND but no such luck. Supposedly Heitkamp ran away from 0bama and is pretending to be a moderate, just like Tester did in ‘06. Tester proved himself to be a big lib and he still won again! So voters in those states get what they deserve I guess. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer with them. All things considered I am surprised Flake won in AZ and Sen Heller managed to squeak though.
With a mere 45 seats now it isn’t going to be easy taking a majority in 2014 either.
Without reading the article I suspect the difference is all of the transient oil workers that are living there (I assume they could vote there due to their ‘temporary worker’ status). Bring a union guy in from Michigan to work the drilling site and their natural inclination is to vote Dem since Obama had not cracked down on them yet. Dumba**es . . .
We never win the close ones!
Vote splitting occurs because of internal party intransigence. In other words it’s a fact of life.
For example, Should Chris Christie win the nomination for Republican Candidate for 2016, expect a vote split again.
Stop making pro-choice/pro-life a single issue for candidacy.
Stop categorizing all GOP moderates as RINOS.
The political spectrum rarely takes quantum leaps from Liberal to Conservative, you must pass thru the middle first.
Bye Bye ND oil revenues.
I will repeat here what I said in another thread:
Berg of ND ran a very poor campaign. His dem opponent, Heidi Heitkamp painted herself independent and as much of a conservative as Berg, even though she was funded by out of state anti oil and anti military interests and is a die hard socialist.
Berg had real stupid advertising. Many of his TV adds had the following statement: “I like Heidi, but - - - “ He basically endorsed her by saying she was likeable. I put this in the same category as that “let’s reach across the isle” bullshit mentality the typical RINO has where every time you reach across the isle to a commie you lose something!
Heitkamp ran fierce attack adds, one of which painted Berg as a rich mean landlord, and he did nothing to defend himself.
Simply put, Berg brought flowers to a gunfight.
I will laugh at you ND people when you whine after the EPA shuts down your oil and gas boom. You fools.
I will laugh at you ND people when you whine after the EPA shuts down your oil and gas boom. You fools.
I will laugh at you ND people when you whine after the EPA shuts down your oil and gas boom. You fools.
Don’t know how anyone in ND could vote for a democrat. They’re tempting fate.
