He has the general election to win, but Mitch got slapped down tonight!
How is he polling vs. likely Dem primary winners?
Now the question is, will the GOP here do what they have done in Florida (where I used to live) and either abandon the conservative "upstart", or worse sabotage him in the general election?
IMHO, the party establishment RINOs are capable of doing that when their chosen candidate loses the primary. Never forget that the GOP dislikes (and is afraid of) conservatives more than Democrats.
Loses in 06 and 08 have taught the party rulers very little. Actually nothing. Morons.
