Charles Krauthammer can leave the room.
Some districts are written off as unwinnable, when with a few extra $$ a candidate with the Ronald Reagan message could win, especially given the job loss, the higher taxes and obamacare. Reagan proved that when he won.
I know they’ve written off the US 9th TN where we have an arrogant POS 2 term obama butt kisser Steve Cohen. Who says he votes like a black woman, (he’s a white, Jew) BUT won’t debate his black, GOP, Memphis Tea Party backed candidate she won 61% of the GOP primary vote over 2 male candidates.

Cohen is so arrogant he isn’t even campaigning against Charlotte.

Steve Cohen not worried about 9th Congressional
The Commercial Appeal ^ | 9/12/10 | Zack McMillin
Yet, even as Steve Cohen’s 9th Congressional District opponent prepares a campaign that may include a billboard proclaiming “Charlotte Bergmann can whip Steve Cohen,” Memphis’ most popular elected Democratic legislator is indicating he will not mount a large campaign aimed at motivating Democratic voters.
Snip
Cohen wasn’t even sure how much effort he would put into a get-out-the-vote operation for his Democratic base.

“I vote like a black woman,” he said in an interview. “I don’t know the black experience, but I know about being a minority and being discriminated against because of religion.”
This is the man who liken 0 the community organizer to JESUS CHRIST!
Evidently, we can also expect an O'Donnell, Chuckles.
Let’s stop bowing down to the likes of Buckley and Krauthammer. Conservaties didn’t make that much progress because of Buckley, we made it because of Reagan. Krauthammer likes to hear himself talk and is satisfied with a piece of bread instead of the whole loaf. Bam thought enough of him to invite him to dinner.
The “electable” strategy has worked so well with Snowe and Collins..
“Electable” conservative is to espouse that one can can pick up a turd by the clean end..
Sometime you can have a Pyrrhic victory. Sometime the devastating result after that “victory” is devastating but not catastrophic.
In these times, with Obama in the White House, any win for him is catastrophic for the rest of us.
Krauthammer is exactly right. Castle might have been a thorn to prick the Republican majority, but it would be a Republican majority, with Republicans controlling the agenda.
If this seat is the determining seat, and it falls to the Democrats because of this victory you are celebrating, these shouts of joy may turn to tears very quickly.
I hope O’Donnell can win. And if she does, I will be happy and humbled. What will you be if she loses and Obama gets more chances to destroy the Nation?
Would this be said by any true Conservative? No.
Does it, written after the election, give any respect at all to the electability of someone who just beat the "unbeatable?" No.
Does this beating a "live" horse make any sense whatsoever to someone who wants the pubbies/O'Donnell to win in November and possibly have the GOP control the Senate??? Absolutely not.
Charles and Rove have a lot of explaining to do for attacking after the election.
10-1 odds against? BS. I can't guarantee she'll win but if The Liberal Progressive won then we still would not control the Senate. We would just lose another alleged Republican to the democrat party like Arlen Spector.
Chuck is a genius. He just happens to be wrong on this one. it happens.
I love Krauthammer. What the hell is amatter with him already?
Still writing speeches for Walter Mondale, eh Chuck?
Had the few conservatives in New York City followed Buckley's rule, he'd have received only his and possibly his brother's vote when WFB ran for mayor. (Naturally, anyone running for political office considers himself electable.)
A person who is not "electable" is very likely a person with whom you have severe policy differences but, for the sake of maintaining friendships, publishing contracts, etc., these differences remain in the distant background as other talking points dominate the discussion.
The candidate's quirks, age, religious affiliation, reading habits, health and other various reasons are instead brought forward for why the candidate is "unelectable," despite some good qualities. It's been done before and will be against O'Donnell, you can count on it.
For example, "Candidate R makes a lot of sense on economics and would be a real asset to a Republican administration as perhaps Treasury Secretary, but he is unelectable because of his age and the kind of people he attracts."
Krauthammer's probably correct in his assessment of O'Donnell's chances in the general election.
He's got an opinion based on a big-picture outlook, with rational arguments to back it up.
And look what this crowd of FReepers comes up with in response.... name calling and silliness.
This place is becoming a joke.

He's pro-abortion too. And a nasty little man to boot.
I wonder who Krauthammer will consider the most electable candidate in Alaska now — Joe Miller or Lisa Murkoski, who just declared her write-in candidacy?
Well, the die is cast. Let’s work for a good outcome.
I appreciate Charles Krauthammer taking the time to instruct all of us rubes on the points we should consider when voting.
Thanks Charles. Until you educated me about voting, I was having trouble figuring out where to put my bubble gum while I pull the lever.
