I saw this first hand with Christine O'Donnell, who would have been a far better senator than Harry Reid's pet--Chris Coons.
The GOP and the media aligned to destroy her.
She had the audacity to take out the old fossil, Mike Castle, who was anointed to eb the Senator from DE, and who is as liberal as you could be.
She was not a nut, and neither was Sharron Angle. The SEIU's preloaded voting machines returned Harry Reid to the Senate where he does damage every day.
ex.... I blame that horse’s @zz Karl Rove for Christine O’Donnell’s demise. He decreed that she was a lost cause and wouldn’t provide any financial support for her campaign.
Grrrr!
