Putting Karl Rove aside for a moment....I think the concern among many is that in some instances.....some perfectly winnable US seats in red states were lost because the GOP nominated some loose cannons. Please GOP candidates, NEVER mention the words abortion and rape in the same sentence.

Please GOP candidates, NEVER mention the words abortion and rape in the same sentence. If asked, they need to have an answer - one that doesn't involve ill-informed theories about uteruses magically 'shutting down.'

Even more perfectly electable seats were lost because we had a loser at the top of the ticket.

Are you SURE that's the reason? If the Party is attacking their own nominee, why should voters vote for that nominee? Are you sure it's the loose cannons or the Party establishment firing artillery on their own troops?

Are you ALWAYS this Clueless or do you work at it? The WORTHLESS GOP-e BACKSTABBED EVERYONE of their Non-Hand picked candidates. Missouri, Indiana WERE VERY Winnable. Delaware on the other hand was(and still is) a LOST cause(too Blue, too STUPID)!

“I don’t about the rest of you, but I would like to start winning elections again.” OK but we will not win ANYTHING with Backstabbing Little PRICKS like Rove, Shmidt, McCain, Rommney and the Bushes working to tear down REAL Conservatives.

Or “authentic Rape” either. The right wing religious centered voters are not the majority in this country. That portion of the voting public does not have the ability to win any election all by themselves.
Hard fact to admit, but it is the truth. They all think they should have that much voting power and some even think they do, but an analysis of the numbers show something very different. They have enough votes to be a spoiler and the proof of that is that Obama is still our president.
What they do not see is that a centralist party does not need their votes or input to win national elections. If that far right section of the Republican party wants to maintain that “spoiler” position then they will force the party to move more towards the center and make the far right religious vote irrelevant to national politics.
Neither the voting numbers or the money is on the far right any longer. This may be what Carl Rove is up to right now. People need to think some about what is going on.

From a distance, it looked like Akin and Mourdock wasted their chances with inarticulate and easily mocked statements. I don't know that those stumbles did in fact cost them their elections, but they certainly didn't help. They made the rookie error of thinking a general campaign is the place to promulgate new takes on controversial subjects. It is not. A general campaign is the place to get elected. Then if you want to proselytize afterword, have at it. This is the same reason Rick Santorum was not and never will be elected president. He can't shut up, and he'd rather be right than president.
