By all rights, Warren was unelectable, but she defeated a good candidate, Brown. With enough party support you can elect a dog as dogcatcher. Angle was, in the end, shot down by the country-club set who support only their own.
The problem is MA is a one-party moonbat state that has an exceptionally high tolerance for corruption. Fauxcahontas embraces both moonbattery and corruption. Brown tried to pander to the left, and that never works. Democrats can never be outpandered in that direction.
But as for Angle, I was warning folks here well ahead of time that of all the Republicans running, she would be the one who would lose, and that was that. I supported her in her race for Congress in 2006, but when she narrowly lost the primary to Dean Heller, she totally flipped out. Started making unsubstantiated allegations of vote fraud and the like. She not only turned off former supporters (like me), but she went out of her way to antagonize almost everyone. She tried an ill-advised campaign against the state Senate leader in a 2008 primary and that was a fiasco as well.
The Tea Party folks listened to her rhetoric when she mounted her 2010 U.S. Senate race and ignored her record of losses and the hurtful allegations (indeed, she left such a mess in 2006, she nearly cost Dean Heller the safe NV-2 seat, and had he lost, he’d not be Senator today). She was the epitome of a bad candidate and rightly viewed as unstable, which was why so many of the party people refused to go along with her.
Angle even threatened (after Heller was appointed to the Senate) to run for the House seat in the special, even if it meant the seat would be lost to the Democrats (meaning oppose the GOP nominee as an Independent). She is precisely the kind of candidate that is more harmful than helpful.
