I just remember the remorse people had over Scott Brown after they insisted on ignoring what he was upfront about: he was a wishywashy moderate.

I have no remorse whatsoever and no regrets for donating to his campaign. I knew exactly what he was but that was not the point for my giving. The Tea Party movement had a strong message to the world in that election and we made it. We make a new one almost daily.

The funny part of all this is that none of the beltway insiders get it. There is no Tea Party. The Tea Party movement is "We the People" and we're coming to take our country back!

Right on all points. I don’t regret the money I sent Scott Brown or even Doug Hoffman. You’re also right that the TP is not a party, but a desire to return to what made America great.

Ironic because that message was, "We the people will send an R, any R, even a RINO, to the Senate to break the 60 vote stranglehold of the all-out Leftists."

In Castle's case, Rove seems convinced that his easy win guaranteed to break the 50 vote majority, ejecting all the Leftist committee chairs.

Castle was a known (weak) commodity. Brown seemed to be a reasonably straightforward known commodity.

If O'Donnell doesn't win and we don't kick out the dem chairs, well that's not all bad...but I can also see quite a few of the million-dollar contributors setting themselves up for disappointment even if she wins and some of this stuff about her turns out to be, "you knew about that when you contributed."
