There have been STUPID things done on both sides. Yes, there were dirty tricks used to defeat McDaniel. But, morons decided to nominate Todd Akin, Richard Murdock and Christine O'Donnell, three embarrassing candidates that helped allow Democrats to remain in control of the Senate.
Great Jumping Jeffords you forgot something. LOL. The GOP unnecessarily surrendering partial control of the senate. At 50/50 the GOP by default still would have had the senate due to GOP VP. Jeffords should always be a reminder as to what damage even one Liberal in the party can do.
