Then so be it. It is far more important that the GOP-E’s actions in the Mississippi runoff not bear fruit, lest we see them repeated against Tea Party candidates in later elections. It should have been a safe seat for the GOP if McDaniels had won the runoff in a fair fight. If the seat is lost, blame the GOP-E, not the Tea Party.

It's far more important that we not lose the Senate. Because if that happens, Obama will have nobody to prevent his seating some far leftie onto the Supreme Court. Then it won't matter if the Senate is filled with Tea Partiers from later elections. Whatever legislation they come up with could be easily overturned by, that one person who'll be on that court for life.

I'd have preferred to see McDaniels to have won, but we have to play the cards we're dealt, even if they came from a stacked deck.

If the seat is lost, blame the GOP-E, not the Tea Party.

It's a big mistake to allow perfection to be the enemy of the good enough. And in my view, a Republican, even if it is a GOP-E, is better than any Democrat. So actually, I'll blame people like you, who, out of petulance, decided it would be better to lose that seat to a Democrat.
