And yet… In general, Tea Party candidates tend to do well in congressional races where small, homogenous districts are in play. In Senate races where you need votes across an entire state, a primary victory for someone like Christine O’Donnell or Todd Akin may briefly fill the conservative heart with joy, but the loss of a Senate seat that could have been won is simply too high a price to pay for that momentary triumph.

Andrew, you bought into the false premise. Todd Akin is NOT tea party.

Funny thing is that Romney was a thousand times worse going for a far more important position than Akin. But one screw up ended his career, while hundreds didn’t matter for Mitt...

And all the votes he got emboldened the GOP to lurch further left than ever.

And people want to do this stupidity AGAIN?????

Christine O'Donnell was done in by the DE GOPe and Tokyo Rove.

I watched it live on TV while she was giving her acceptance speech!
