Even though he lost, Ed Gillespie was the best candidate, ran the best campaign.
Scott Walker was also awesome.

Cillizza is a bleeding heart liberal. Everything he writes is filtered through a leftist prism, so nothing he say has any claim to reality.

Walker, considering how they were so after him... he keeps rising to the top... and Joni Ernst...

Too bad he didn’t get the $$$

They did not mention Cotton from Arkansas who gave the buffoon Pryor a 17 point trouncing. My favorites, Cotton and Ernst.

Cory ran a heck of a campaign, very disciplined and on message. He totally defeated the war on women b.s. and in fact turned it around on “Senator Uterus.”

All things being equal,I prefer a governor to a member of congress. Given that, few are the equal of Scott Walker.

I will never believe Gory Gardner "changed his mind" about running. The GOPe changed it for him. Ken Buck had announced his run for the nomination and the GOPe decided he was just too too conservative, and anointed Gardner. Same as they did in the Governors race. Tancredo was tooo too conservative for them so they shafted him along with Buck.If I still lived in Colorado, I probably would have set this on out.

There were lots of great candidates this year. Two local ones hail from Maryland. Larry Hogan smacked and crushed his Democrat, sitting Lt. Governor chosen one opponent into the dirt in a stunning landslide.

Dan Bongino, while not successful ran a textbook campaign and came within a couple thousand votes of vanquishing a Democrat Congressman in a gerrymandered district designed especially for him.

Using his experience as a former Secret service agent, Bongino garnered a national level of respect and recognition. Alas, he’s a district over so I couldn’t vote for him.

Did I say gerrymandered? I’m sorry, I meant vomited on a wall and drew circles around it. That’s how poorly they define districts here in the PRM. (People’s Republic of Maryland)

I see Cornyn isn’t on the list. I’m not even sure he ran a campaign. Did he take up golf or something?

I saw Capito on Fox News Sunday. I thought she came across very well - what sounded like genuine and well thought out answers. Then they had Gardner on there. He sounded like the typical weasel-mouthed politician giving the same old RINO scripted responses.

Scott Walker is the pit bull of politics. No one else had to fight three elections in three years, defying the polls, and winning them all.

And he never looked like he broke a sweat -- calm, cool, a gentleman through and through. When Debbie Wasserman Schultz came out with her ridiculous charge that "Scott Walker gave women the back of his had; he's pulling them by the hair and dragging them back..." I think that statement won the election for him right there, it was so over the top.

Everybody stopped listening to the Dems.

Al Franken?

All he had to do was stand there and look stupid.

Real easy for him.
