"The Senate would be Republican today except for states [in which Palin endorsed candidates] like Christine O’Donnell in Delaware,"

BS!

If the RNC helped O'Donnell as much as they first tried to hurt her, she would have had a very good chance of winning. Palin had nothing to do with it.

"Rep. Spencer Bachus (Ala.) said that Tea Party-backed candidates whom Palin endorsed underperformed against their Democratic rivals, costing the GOP key pickup opportunities."

Wasn't he one of the ones that has been saying all along that Republicans had no chance of taking the Senate.

For every seat she "lost" she won three.

Nobody was voting for the GOP. They were voting against Democrats or for the Tea Party.

He cites Maryland where the GOP establishment and even Karl Rove did everything they could to undermine the candidate??

Tell me how much Bachus did for O’Donnell??

bachus is the result of two first cousins procreating. If not... he has no other excuse. This is not a slam on Alabama... I am in Mississippi.

Leave it to the establishment Republicans to turn a tremendous victory into a defeat!

BS.

Her picks won more than they lost and frankly even in those places where they lost they came ever closer than dreamed possible.

Palin inspires the base while the Republican party would love to see her muzzeled and removed so that the “good ole boys” that make the decisions at the driving range and paid their dues can get what they are entitled to. The Republic party for being anti-Union sure acts almost like one, Senority and all. It’s people like Bachus that brought us McCain, Dole................

He just made a major political miscalculation.

It’s going to suck being him when she’s President.

I’d be willing to bet she gored an ox of his at some point and now he’s afraid she’ll get enough influence to let everyone know how many oxen he has wondering around that no one pays any attention to.

JMHO

I dont know about control but it definitely didnt help get us there
I am sorry but Christine “I am not a witch and neither are you” O’Donnell was a loon. if you have to defend comments regarding past witchcraft usage you have pretty much lost the narrative. Castle probably (though not definitely) would have won giving GOP 48
Sharon Angle was in no way ready for prime time
every other word out of her mouth generated negative press that Reids team capatilized on. Nevada ran the only person who could lose against Reid for crying out loud
this cost us another probably though by no means gauranteed win which would have made it 49

Unfortunately arguing this point is kind of like debating who was the greatest heavyweight champ of all time: we will never, ever be able to say with any certainty.

Yet, for what it’s worth, I hasten to add that I believe he is dead wrong. I believe the GOP establish — led by Pudge Rove — cost us the Senate by their savagery towards COD. They only meant, of course, to kill off a Sarah protege. But, they went so far over the edge that they brought scorn upon Angle as well. Sort of a guilt by female association effect.

GOP to conservatives. Shut up and vote for our RINOs. On the other hand when a Tea party person loses, we’ll not keep quiet. It is for the good of the party.
