As a supporter of Rep. John Hostettler, I'm, disappointed. There is something to be said for runoffs.

A runoff should be a no brainer here. Very sad this opportunity in Indiana was blown so badly.

Let me guess - all four of the conservatives billed themselves as “the Tea Party candidate,” right?

That’s why the Tea Parties need to work with conservatives WITHIN the GOP - to take over the party, use its organisational structure, and toss out the establishment RINOs.

There was only one small problem: the party establishment had just one candidate in the race while the conservatives split their votes between four.

Conservatives need to wake up fast. We're running too many candidates for the same seat. We end up knocking each other off and allowing the RINO to take the nom. Hostettler didn't even bother campaigning and raised, what, $30,000 in 2010? He should have dropped out weeks ago and endorsed the conservative front-runner. Same thing happened in Illinois. Too many conservatives on the ballot and now we're stuck with uber-RINO Mark Kirk. When will Republicans wake up?
