I’m honestly not surprised.
One of the lessons that our side has to learn from the 2010 elections is that even on a year very favorable to the GOP, it’s still important to nominate a strong candidate.
“Not being the democrat just isn’t enough.”
We live in the adjacent district, so were still blitzed by the ridiculous ads from both sides.
Besides the “Tea Party” X-factor, it was interesting the amount of negative comments about Corwin from even Conservative voters. Of course, her defending entitlements like Medicare didn’t help.
Newt's comments were stupid and a disaster, but he had a point. The republicans will not be successful if they try to change Medicare and the seniors aren't on board - it just won't work.
Obama has the media and the repubs don't have that same cover. How many seniors know Obama wants to cut half a trillion from Medicare to fund ObamaCare - not that many.
The repubs need to learn and need to know they have to explain better and in clearer terms what they want to do with Medicare, but I have a feeling that the seniors will not put up with any changes and basically we are doomed.

We better learn that soon too, because 2012 is a comin!
A democrat pretending to be a tea party candidate stole this election. The republican had to surmount the dem lies about Paul Ryan’s plan to save medicare.
We had a good candidate.
I agree with you. I am sure the Demos pulled out all their dirty little tricks, like scaring grandma.
