Thus ended hopes for the Senate.

Bill Buckley is rolling in his grave.

Bill Buckley led the charge to replace Lowell Weicker in CT WITH a Democrat (Joe Lieberman). I had a "Does Lowell Weicker Make You Sick?" bumber sticker on the back of my car, courtesy of Buck-PAC. So, no, WFB is NOT rolling in his grave.

“Thus ended hopes for the Senate.”

That’s okay. Gridlock is better than RINOs running the country.

Buckley voted for Goldwater when he ran rather than Rockefeller iirc. Bill B voted for Reagan in ‘76 when conventional wisdom said RR could not win.

You misunderstand his philosopy about “the most conservative candidate who can win”. This cycle, O’Donnel can win

“Bill Buckley is rolling in his grave.”

Bill said to vote for the “most conservative candidate that had the best chance to Win in the General”.

Great advice, but I’m not sure if Castle qualified as a conservative.

we will see.

And even if we don't retake it, I would rather be in the minority with real conservatives representing us, than be in the majority with liberals with R's after their name screwing things up and giving Republicans a bad name.

I agree, bad candidate for the general election, she is going to be hammered and lose..all in the name of some misguided purity game. Thanks for nothing Sarah Palin.

.
You have to be joking.

This is the proof that we are going to win the whole oyster in November.

Sarah Palin has with this victory, taken the helm of the GOP away from the elitist sewage that has run the party into the ground (deliberately IMO).

Victory is all downhill from here. No more Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and co.

"Thus ended hopes for the Senate. Bill Buckley is rolling in his grave."

Rush demolished THAT argument yesterday.

Interesting to see defeatists replacing the debunked Buckley Doctrine with the Neville Chamberlain Doctrine post-primary.
