Care to flesh out this metric, "deserving" first, then "undeserving?"
I'll go first. Mike Castle. Undeserving. Is Castle what has you in such high moral dudgeon over ... what? What does "team" mean, when one is indistinguishable from the other?
Republicans rode in on the backs of conservatives. I vote conservative. Pity that "Republican" and "conservative" aren't synonymous. But, they aren't.
Attempt to paint O'Donnell as a nutbag all you want, she's more conservative than Cap'n Trade Castle. The more "deserving" candidate won.
Lesson in life: Synonymous = perfect. It will never happen, but we can get close.
