Rove's wisdom was rejected, and we got another Democrat in the Senate. Yeah, that worked well, why not do it again?
If the GOP is just another wing of the Dem party, what difference does it make if someone has an R after their name or not? The Olympia Snowe's do nothing to further the principles of conservatism and the dismantling of the welfare state. They just undermine the party from within. Collins, Snowe, and Spector voted for Obama's stimulus. No doubt Castle would have as well.
We need more real conservatives in the Senate. I am glad Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio are in the Senate. The Establishment preferred their opponents in the primaries.
