"ATTENTION: All Conservative bashers. Conservatives showed up. It's the precious unreliable moderates that seem to have sat this one out. So if you want to blast anyone, thank the ungrateful pack of Republican Moderates the GOP catered to the past two years. Don't believe me? Check out what races are going down. It ain't the conservative strongholds by and large, it's the wimpish Lib Mod districts."
BINGO. Beautiful post!
Wow, Double Bingo from me.
Excellent point. All Republicans had to do was be conservative, which many of them just can't seem to do.

This is absurd logic. Unless you give something for moderates to hold onto, they won't give you their support. And without their votes, you aren't going to win. Period. End of story. I've said it a thousand times, you play the race to win the majority of votes of the moderates, not just your conservative base. Those who think they can win with conservative votes alone just haven't been around long enough to know how the game is played.
