Neither. If the Limbaugh rule was correct, why didn’t Sharron Angle win, or Christine O’Donell?
Both Angle and O’Donnell were running in deep blue states, as was Walker. But they had little or no record of fiscal accomplishments to run on like Walker...........
Because neither were conservative enough. Ron Paul was too conservative for most conservatives, so the voting bloc fractured leaving no acceptable candidate with more votes than Mitt.
