Snow and Brown were lamenting her win, or rather, Castles loss as a sign that there was no more room in the party for moderates. Wouldn’t exactly call that an endorsement.
‘crestfallen’ is the word used to describe Snowe’s reaction to Castle’s loss. Disgusting
Well, it’s true isn’t it? But that doesn’t mean moderates won’t prefer a true conservative over a crazy liberal. They should add that everyone should prefer a conservative to a liberal.
