Broun is a creationist with foot-in-mouth disease who is overly friendly to Paultards. He’s the one GA Republican who could lose to the Spawn of Nunn. I’m rooting for Handel, but if Broun makes the run-off I’ll support whoever the other Republican is.
In SC, if Lee Bright makes the run-off, Graham will get six more years. Bright is no more conservative than Cash or Mace, but is far more apt at turning off potential voters. And Lee Bright’s middle name should be “Not-All-That,” given that he endorsed L. Ron Paul for president in 2012. Richard Cash is our best bet to stop Graham (but if people want to vote for Bright or Mace in the first round that’s fine, so long as Cash finishes second).
I’ve already beaten the Bevin horse to dath. He’s unqualified, dishonest, has no record to support his claims of conservatism, and I strongly suspect that he’s a Paulistinian.
Stockman is a gadfly with a shoddy electoral history who votes like a Paulbot and purposely timed his retirement announcement for the day of the filing deadline so as to prevent a black conservative state rep from running for his House seat. He does the seemingly impossible: making Cornyn appear reputable by comparison.
In NC, Brannon is a Paultard, and his only political activity prior to last year was donating money to a Paultard House candidate.
In 2010, Buck managed to blow a Senate race in CO that was in the bag, thanks to his bragging that he didn’t prosecte a rapist because the victim had an abortion and other stupid statements. We need to do better in CO if we want to beat Udall.
And “Obama’s cousin” in KS? What a joke.
I’m telling you, I don’t know if these self-appointed “Tea Party favorites” are flying solo, or if Paulbots have taken over Tea Party groups, but those candidates often described as “Tea Party favorites” are the liberals’ wet dreams, since they will make it likelier that a Democrat or a RINO will get elected.
The two saving graces for the Tea Party movement in 2014 Senate races are Chris McDaniel in MS and Joe Carr in TN. Both are solid conservatives with proven records and would win the general if they knock off the RINO in the primary. Fortunately, McDaniel appears to be well on his way to knocking off Cochran; unfortunately, Carr is trailing way behind RINO Lamar! Alexander and TN doesn’t have a run-off, so Alexander can win with a plurality.
I’m not hot on any of the major candidates in the GA Senate race. Too old or career politicians. I rather like this minister running:
Derrick Grayson

I am forced to pretty much entirely agree with you on all your points.
It’s mystifying to me as to why people are comparatively ignoring TN, where help is desperately needed to take out a legitimately sub-par incumbent and replace him with a conservative state legislator, in favor of a race like Kansas where a candidate composed entirely of hype is tauted against a conservative Senator who’s cardinal sin is “he’s been there too long” (voting the right way 95% of the time, the horror).
Thank goodness Cheney’s daughter quit her run against Enzi from the LEFT, cause I wouldn’t be able to take it if THAT nonsense was still going on.
Even MS, clearly the Tea party’s best chance, gets little attention around here compared with races like Texas. I think we have 1 MS freeper posting most of the McDaniel threads. Cochran, with the arguable exception of Graham, is the worst Republican up (besides the RINO Collins who’s weak primary challenger is being totally ignored). Lamar! isn’t far behind.
I guess it’s more sexy to support a guy off the street rather than elected officials like McDaniel and Carr (who are of course all UNCLEAN) , but that doesn’t explain Bright or Stockman. I really hope someone can overtake Bright to make the runoff instead because I see Graham making the race about him and probably succeeding. Stockman seems quite douchey, I’m glad I don’t live in Texas (in so far as having to vote in that Senate race). Despite a new poll showing him forcing a runoff, I doubt he’ll win.
As to GA I wish Rev. Grayson all luck but he’ll have to raise his name regogination out of the basement. I haven’t seen much polling but he’s at 1% in the last one. I gotta favor Handel over the trio of Congressman, especially Broun.
