Politico ^ | March 4, 2014 | JAMES HOHMANN and KATIE GLUECK

Are you quoting The Black Knight?

Seemed appropriate, with all these people in here claiming some kind of moral victory because Cornyn ONLY got 58% in an 8 person primary. All he needed was 50% + 1.

It's as if, they want to "call it a draw".

And yes, that's another Black Knight quote.

You see, this is where I disagree with the TP strategy

I disagree with your premise that the Tea Party HAS a "strategy".... It's more like a giant herd of cats moving through a room full of rats.

Plenty. He doesn’t tell the truth for one thing. He is not a conservative in any sense of the word.

I agree with some of what you say, if even slightly. However, don’t buy Cornball is a familiar name or even incumbent. This was an attack against the voters pure and simple. How they really did it was anyone’s guess; but I am pretty sure the majority wanted Stovall.

This is a long battle we have to change the Senate, and we won't win every time.

Very true... Plus, it's not good enough to just run "anybody but..." One bad candidate for Senate can hurt our chances all over the country.

and BTW, Stockman got 15% or so without running any sort of race.
