O’Donnel and Angle were flawed candidates.
But the only recipe for obliteration that concerns me is the one that has essentially destroyed Constitutionally-limited government in the United States over the past century. So, other than conceding the point that flawed candidates don’t help either, your other arguments are simply irrelevant.
You should be very careful about employing a strategy which will not advance your goals. Look a the political realities we are dealing with. We nominated candidates who did not have the skills to capitalize on a favorable environment. We just wanted to hear them rail against the RINOS and then we rushed to vote for them in the primaries. Even candidates with no resume of accomplishment in any field.
