“But the Tea Party also brought us Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell – two horrible candidates who lost in states that Republicans would almost certainly have won if the Tea Party had thrown its support behind more moderate – more electable — candidates. “
There’s no rule that says if you’re a conservative, that you have to talk about witches or sound like one. Act professional, don’t go around wielding a baseball bat and you’ll even be able to win in NY, just like Bob Turner.
Blame the horrible voters mostly for sending the corrupted Harry Reid and his little pet marxist Chris Coons to the senate instead.
Regarding DE: had Christine O’Donnell not have upset Mike Castle, and had Castle won, conservatives would be in much worse shape. Chris Coons is a novice socialist senator. Castle would have been a very powerful one. I am proud of Christine & the job we did here in Delaware in ousting a corrupt carreer leftist politician who sold us all down the river. BTW, if you want to know what Christine is like & what really happened in 2010, read her book.
Utter B.S. that the "Progressive" Republicans have been trying to sell as accepted wisdom. These were actually two pretty good candidates that the MSM combined with RINOs were able to get enough traction on to defeat. Reid was Senate majority leader and had worked with the NRA enough that they did not oppose him.
What about all of the conservative candidates that won! Bernard Goldberg acts as if none of those elected positions would have been lost if "moderates" had been run in their place. He offers the false idea that "Independents" will always be more likely to vote for the "moderate" over the conservative. I do not believe this to be true.
