>>> That is heresy. You must always pick the most conservative candidate. Their resume, experience, communications skills, etc. are unimportant. Now you will be labeled a RINO for the rest of your time here.
Tell me bout it. I barely escaped a lynching last night making a similar point.
Murkowski holds the seat for the republicans. Good enough under the circumstances and considering the dem alternative.

The problem wasn’t with the candidate’s themselves, its that the campaigns were not run well. Once they won the primaries, they were up against a well oiled machine and their organizations were out of their league. Next time around we need to hire professional campaigners, and political consultants (even if we despise them)...... in the General the object is to convince enough Sheeple to vote for your candidate so as to WIN! Once in office go back to being hard line conservatives.......hell you don’t need professional spin doctors for the Sheeple for another 6 years, most of them don’t pay attention between elections anyhow. That’s the game, as much as I might despise it. Unfortunately most of our fellow citizens are not engaged beyond the Pop Celebrity Culture and therefore ignorant.

General hostility for the voters you’re trying to influence is a sure winning strategy.

These folks won their primaries because of a well oiled machine.
There is no way anyone could convince me that Christine O’Donnell was a good candidate. I feel the same about Angle and Miller.
I agree to a point, but if the candidate has to be isolated from the press because he/she is so prone to controversial statements, a professional campaign manager can’t work miracles.
