Did I say I would vote for Kirk? I detest everything about him. I just don’t think trying to defeat him via a third party effort is wise. I’d rather concentrate on an opportunity we’ve not had for 30 years. Some good things happened tonight. Why do we have to be such bickering quarreling defeatists?

Didn’t mean to imply that you’d vote for Kirk, sorry.

I am so damn elated that we got good conservatives to run for Governor, Lt.Governor and Comptroller if Jim Dodge wins.

But like the fisherman that comes back with a nice stringer full of Bass, I’m still disappointed about the “big one” that got away!

Run Patrick Run! 2010

I’d agree on a third party challege being useless.

If things continue as they are, several Republicans are going to win just because they aren’t Democrat’s. A protest vote won’t matter. It’s one of those time’s when a wave of public discontent makes everything else irrelevant to most voters.

Fighting this with a third party would just divert resources from good candidate elsewhere and for what? Not to win. At best the Demoacrt would win. I don’t care if the Democrat beats the Liberal Republican but I do care if a conservative is beaten because we were seeking vengence here. Conservatives should have gotten involved months ago. Most didn’t. Accept this as a valuable lesson and move on.
