IMO, that’s the kind of attitude that keeps getting RINO’s elected.
I believe she has a great shot considering most Americans (ones who are awake anyway) are sick of the same tired old “establishment” candidate.
If we can vote out the incumbent “Republican”, we can sure as hell vote out the incumbent “Democrat”. And I think the naysayers either have no clue or just don’t get that WE THE PEOPLE are DONE with the 2-party, lesser-of-2-evils bullcrap.
The Republican establishment's preferred candidate (who was not an Incumbent Senator), was voted out in a primary contest involving a small fraction of the electorate, all of it Republican, that will be in play on Election Day. That result cannot be extrapolated to the entire electorate.
If people wanted to make a statement with O'Donnell, that's fine. But one should make that statement with eyes wide open about the potential short-term consequences. The most common mistake people make in politics is simply assuming “most Americans” will fall in line with one’s own personal preferences. Elections invariably do not play to that assumption at regular intervals.
