And they’re part of the reason the dems currently control the senate.

I find it hard to believe that the reason blue states have Democratic senators is because conservatives there stayed home. They're just not that big a factor in the total vote. While I think all conservatives should vote for the GOP, I just don't see Freepers having that big an influence in blue states, at least from a vote count perspective.

Marsha is a complete Moron.
Charlie Baker is a Moron minus half of a point.

Here in central MA I have a Republican state rep and it looks like I’ll have a Republican state senator too. Sheriff is also Republican.

A 9 point lead appears to be outside the margin of fraud.

I believe republicans would have picked up a seat in Delaware if not for a group throwing down behind Christine O’Donnell. She was a bad choice to bank on.

If the republicans had run either Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian instead of Sharron Angle, we wouldn’t likely have Harry Reid. Sharron Angle was too easy for the left to bring down because of some bizarre positions she had taken.

Both these O’Donnell and Angle should have been vetted a little better before conservatives threw down big money behind them.

The ones that backed O’Donnell and Angle are the same ones saying they won’t vote for even Pat Roberts (R) Kansas. What’s amazing too is that Pat Roberts is very conservative.

Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian would have been good republican senators. Michael Castle would have been a lot better choice than commie Chris Coons.

All democrats must be defeated. The country is in a panic over Obama don’t you all see that. It was bad already, then Ebola, Isil and Ferguson.

That we both agree on. Unwise choices by conservatives led to defeat in those races. In the general, however, conservatives staying home would have had negligible effect on the final outcomes.

Say what you want about Baker but Coakley is a poor candidate and RINO that he may be, Baker could carry the few Republicans and many unenrolleds (and some Dems) in MA

Other poor candidates...just ask
Pres Dukakis
Pres Kerry
Gov Silber
Gov Shannon O’Brien :)

(Sat Night Live debate sketch, Dana Carvey as GHWBush:”So, stay the course, thousand points of light, stay the course.”
Jon Lovitz as Dukakis:”I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy.” John Kerry “reported for duty” with Ta-ray-za and lost. BU prez Silber lost to Bill “Big Red” Weld...O’Brien lost to Romney, who took over as GOP candidate after acting gov Jane Swift was getting 19 per cent in the polls)

MA residents getting 37 per cent electricity hike...Coakley didn’t stop and got $ from Natl Grid I think. Baker could be ok...Coakley may make Deval look good by comparison.

I am not a fan of Charlie Baker.

Nor am I.

But he gets my vote, because I don't want the Wicked Witch of Fells Acres to be governor!

And so it goes - refusal to make a distinction between a RINO and a Marxist is what gives the Left a constant leg up.

The irony is that many with similar attitudes think that suicide is a sin....

I agree. Baker is no one to cheer for. On the other hand, Coakley is a staggeringly bad candidate.

Baker is at least a competent manager. Coakley is a corrupt POS bungler who will sell out to Democrat special interests. She has all the personal charm of a lizard.

Silber was poor? Weld gave us Marshall who gave us the first state with homo marriage. I'm not so sure Silber would have given us that. I consider Weld one of my mistaken votes.
