Nice strategy, running to lose. If you expect to lose, you will most likely do so... and you will lose in those areas where you thought you could win.

I was trying to explain my dislike for John Cornyn (one of my Senators) and THIS is the absolute basic example that I can display! He is PLANNING on loosing, but he wants to be able to take a “moral” victory of sorts by forcing them to spend money!
How about the conservatives offer a candidate with solutions to SOLVE the problems? If they have a good product with a good message, the Democrats will still have to spend their money explaining why they haven’t done these things already! (i.e., all these Congress critters saying they will save $500 million to $700 million by cutting waste in the Medicare/Medicaid system - conservatives should be hitting them about doing this NOW (regardless of the Health Care Reform), etc...).
I played football from Jr. High all the way into my Marine Corps days and the one thing I remember was from my Jr. High coach (Coach Slaughter): practice like you play, because you will play like you practice!
