“Reid is winning in Nevada,
Boxer and Brown are winning in California,”
I think this is a good example of why one size will not fit all in different elections.
I think the article gave very good advice about avoiding in-=fighting, that is always a problem.
However re: the perfect vs. the good, as your examples show, Angle must be considered the “perfect” candidate, but she is struggling, but Fiorina would have been considered the “good” candidate, so what is proved here?
I really don’t know enough about the other races to comment on them, except I would certainly HOPE that that tinpot loser Charlie Christ will be sent packing by the voters (of all parties)of Florida.
Let’s face another fact folks, it is THE AMERICAN PEOPLE who got us into this mess.
40 years of buying BS from the pols, believing in pie in the sky, etc.
It’s going to be a long slog to get out of it, and I’m starting to wonder if we ever will.
But when I get doubtful I remind myself of the long, bitter, slog that the Right to Life movement has waged for decades. And no, Roe hasn’t been reversed, and yes, abortion is still legal. But real headway has been made, and hearts & minds headway, which in this case is very important.
So let us not despair, let us just resolve to keep working.
I say that to myself as much as to anyone else.
All our “tea party” candidates will not win this year. But let us hope the tea party will remain and stay strong and keep fighting for the DECADES that is is really, truly, going to take to fix our nation.
The short of it ... BLOAT
By putting Republicans that can win in the polls, we seem to settle for progressive lite. The conservative voting block needs to send a message to the GOP: “If you EVER want to be the party in the position of control, you best become conservative.”
The message of the Tea Partiers is THAT.
Who is this guy?
Latest Rasmussen Poll shows both Rossi and Didier DEFEATING Murray.

You are taking the average of all the polls; some as far back as May. That doesn’t mean s***. Take the latest polls. The GOP challengers are getting better known and liked.
The latest poll is what you should use before you say we’re “losing” certain seats. We’re ahead in the polls in Washington and Wisconsin.

Well in THAT case, Republicans should just sit back and relax, with certain victory in sight....../sarc
I think that is my point. They are part of the problem and cannot possibly solve it. And worse, if any candidate, republican or democrat, ran on what needs to be done, the electorate would handily reject them.
And that gets us to the root cause. The electorate is the root cause of the problem. And that is because this is as good as any example of the electorate in this country today:
