It also seems that if this explanation was available, the campaign would have used it, rather than all the explanations they did use.

No, that is false. If you grow up politically, and learn how the media works, you will discover that you can have a 45 minute interview with the news media and only have 5 words actually printed in the newspaper or used on TV.

I was interviewed for about 45 minutes by Gannett. They used about 5 words out of that interview, and indirectly referred to one other point I made.

The fact that you don't read something in the newspaper does not mean the point was not made to them repeatedly.

You can never be a grown-up in politics until you realize that what you read in the newspaper ain't necessarily so.

The campaign put out it’s own press releases. This is the internet age, you know. It is absurd to argue that we, in the conservative movement, at Free Republic, didn’t have access to every argument the O’Donnell campaign chose to make.

If they had an argument and we didn’t know it, that’s there fault — all they needed was a logon, and they could post whatever they wanted.

Which goes back to our previous argument — who is to blame?

Which I should say I don’t entirely disagree with you — I certainly wish I lived in a world where it was different, and certainly all the roadblocks against conservatism hurt. But they are what they are — we change what we can, we overcome what we need to. In the end, that is what we can do.
