What ridiculous analogies.
The country as whole is FAR more conservative than Delaware and Colorado.
Secondly, you seem to be forgetting that PALIN WON and became the governor or Alaska. The other four lost. BTW, Miller, if ends up losing, lost to a Republican not a Democrat. So, to even use him as an example is lunacy.
Thirdly, the morons that run the Republican party did not sufficiently fund Angle or Buck or both likely would have won their races. Angle was ahead in every poll going and got beat because labor unions and casinos owners ran a better ground game.
Alaska is a solid Republican state. It’s also only 3 electoral votes.
That’s not the concern. Nor is it much help in the grand scheme.
If we don’t carry Colorado and Nevada, 0bama wins.
The magical thinking here, BTW, is that candidates that every poll showed couldn’t win somehow were going to win simply by virtue of the Tea Party believing they would because of Tea Party support alone.
Sarah Palin fits that, except that half the Tea Party members even understand that she can’t win.
The candidates who did win were the ones with broad appeal beyond just the Tea Parties, like Ron Johnson, Kelly Ayotte, Pat Toomey, and Marco Rubio.
The ones who lost were the more polarizing candidates who could not expand their appeal beyond the Tea Parties: Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Ken Buck, Joe Miller. This is the group Sarah Palin belongs to.
