So strip away all the bloviating rhetoric and the short answer from all three of you is:

No, we refuse to learn anything from the repeated failure of our "Be the Democrat Lite party" political strategy.

You have completely misconstrued what I have repeatedly posted. I want the GOP to be the conservative party, not just in DE but in every state, but running people who are unfit for the Senate and who will get trounced in the election is no way to accomplish that. Had O’Donnell run for the state legislature in 2008 instead of for the U.S. Senate, built up some kind of record, and was honest in her dealings, she would likely be a “rising star” who would be strongly considered for a U.S. Senate seat in 2012 or 2014. We need to build the party from the ground up, not expect to elect to the Senate the first person to walk through the door and falsely claim to have carried two counties in a Senate race.

You know, your refusal to engage in calm and polite discussion with those who disagree with you doesn't make you right, clever or smart - it just makes you an ass.

There are a number of people who look at the the facts on the ground, the extremely dim general election prospects of O'Donnell, and the nature of the Delaware electorate, and think it might be better to take half a loaf rather than none. There are also those who would rather have no loaf than accept half a loaf they find unacceptable. Both are valid positions, and people should be able to argue their points without being called names or accused of ill intentions.
