Right. Did your candidate have all the resources of the GOP arrayed against him? Or was he a powerful, moneyed incumbent who let his arrogance gain control of his mouth?
My candidate was targeted by Soros, Hillary and MoveOn way back in 2005. This was 1) retribution for his work as chair of the NRSC and 2) getting him out of Hillary's way.
Sure, he made some mistakes. But he also dealt with an onslaught of all out lies about his background, about his character, about his record.
We spent WEEKS debating a disclosure of stock issue. TODAY the Senate Ethics committee admitted Allen made no mistake.
WE faced The Washington Post who wrote over 300 articles on "macaca" alone and ingored Jim Webb's documented racist/sexist past.
So that's what we faced.
And, on a night where Republicans were losing across the nation, we lost by 7,000 votes.
Hell yes it was painful. It still is. It's like a death in the family.
But you, to show your "moral superiority" wear it as a badge of honor.
We know all about your "principled conservatism" EV. It lasts all the way to the bank.
