How do we make sense of Christine O’Donnell stunning Mike Castle in Delaware, Carl Paladino crushing Rick Lazio in New York’s GOP gubernatorial primary, and Kelly Ayotte and Ovide Lamontagne still running neck-and-neck in New Hampshire’s Senate GOP contest? It’s simple: We’re witnessing a purge within the Republican Party.
Yet it’s important to understand that this purge isn’t out of the ordinary. It’s what political parties do after they lose.
The happiest people today are the beleaguered folks in the West Wing. The intra-party spat inside the GOP means the White House gets a few days out of the spotlight, something it desperately needed.

Now if only CPAC can purge itself of GOPROUD....
That’s not happy...it’s cowering.

Purge? Seem’s like an appropriate way to describe what is happening from a COMMUNIST PERSPECTIVE.
They are counting their chickens before they hatch. Do they not remember that independents are trending republican by a good margin? And the mood is get the dang dems out before they cause more destruction?
The Tea Party Tsunami.
Doing what Nancy Pelosi failed to do. Doing what Harry Reid failed to do.
The Tea Party Tsunami - cleaning out the House and the Senate.
