Since the Obama DOJ has given its seal of approval to voter fraud/intimidation, with the blessing of liberal judges, one can assume it’s only going to get worse.
With all do respect, did you really believe that Christine O’ Donnell would win? The moment she said that she practices witchcraft, she was gone. Let’s be honest. Rove was right about that. And for West Virginia—that was the best political commmerical in decades-him shooting that health care bill with a shotgun...totally awesome. They who thought that one up should get an award.
Voter fraud that goes unpunished. Simple as that. One man, one vote is a joke and the punks, thieves and criminals that make up the democrat party don’t care about the rule of law or this country. .
Through corrupt election theft and rinos like rove destroying any chances for our people, by turning their backs on Conservatives and actively working against them is the reason WHY!

The explanation can be seen in the Harry Reid race in Nevada...so many people addicted to the government dole for their employment (or believing they are) who can be scared sh**less to come out to the polls out of fear of losing their livelihoods over one schmuck being booted from Congress.
(around here we call that The Murtha Syndrome)
My biggest disappointment was that Ruth McClung did not win in Southern Arizona. Not only was she a GREAT candidate, but the incumbent is the traitor Raúl Grijalva, who supported a boycott against his own thrice-noble State, and who robotically did whatever obama and Pelosi said in Congress.
As for Massachusetts, the real issue is that the ‘Rat machine did the “shoe leather” work to get out the vote, with union help, no doubt. That is a lesson for Republicans in 2012, not only in Massachusetts, but also all over the country. Then there is the need to run a social media campaign at least as good as Scott Brown’s in 2009/2010, and better yet as good as obama’s in 2008.
It is also a disappointment that that corrupt toady to the banksters and Jodie Dallas clone Bonnie Fwank is still with us!
At least the Republicans’ taking over the House will greatly diminish both Frank’s and Grijalva’s power, and we won’t have to look at them nearly as much!!!!
Three reasons: Democrat Corruption, Democrat Corruption and Democrat Corruption!!!
I hate to keep beating the same drum, but...
The problem is the awful campaigns that many Republicans insist on running.
Negative ads work for Democrats, not for Republicans.
Republicans don’t hate themselves, so it is easy for them to miss the fact that the voters they need to get them over the top in a close election are voters that hate Republicans. No matter how poorly the Democrats govern, these voters will continue to look for better Democrat candidates rather than vote for a Republican.
Negative ads aimed at Democrats may be somewhat effective at raising the negatives of that one candidate, but they are partially offset by neutral-to-favorable coverage in the newspapers and on local TV.
What the negative ads aimed at Democrats do to Republicans is, however, toxic. Each one is one more block on a whole dark, dire and repellent Republican image. Who in their right minds would ever change their party affiliation to vote for these dreadful haters and blamers?
Remember that there is no positive Republican image on our TV’s at all most of the time. Fox News may be correct, but Fox commentaters spend almost all of their time criticizing and finger-pointing. Ads that do the same thing don’t really add much to the discussion except to confirm the fact that the Republicans are hopelessly mired in negativity.
Marco Rubio is a great candidate because he is positive, relentlessly so. Part of Sarah Palin’s appeal is that she has a positive image- nice family, good-looking husband, good looks herself, fitness, positive personal outlook. The reason she made that “Alaska” thing is that her political strategy requires that she show a positive, powerful, smiling identity.
Every time a Republican candidate shows a negative ad it has risks. The ad might provoke backlash. The accumulation of “hate-the-awful-Democrats” political messages has provoked so much backlash that it put many elections out of reach for Republicans.
This effect is bad, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. In my state, Bob McDonald ran a few positive, sunny ads and won easily despite the damage done by the failed Kilgore gubernatorial campaign and the dreadful anti-liberal messages run in an effort to stop Mark Warner and Tom Perrielo in 2008.
What got into Sharron Angle’s mind? Did she think that an anti-immigration ad would inform some unpersuaded voter that we have an immigration problem? It didn’t, of course. Everybody knows that already. What it did was inform the electorate, always alert for Republican racism, that Angle had a racial tin ear.
Positive message, positive images and positive ads will win. Negative ads are losers, and worse, add to the wall of suspicion that the next Republican candidate has to climb.
FRAUD
“Why did some good GOP candidates not win”
Because the democrat cheating was heavily focused only in some areas.
