Orman has said he will cactus with the majority party; but he is a dem all the way. He donated money to Obama, Reid, and other dem’s . If this is successful you will see the dem’s try this in future races. With the Tea Party and the Elite Republican Establishment at odds it opens the door for this.
The Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the foot. We had a great opportunity to take the Senate now we have this.
With republicans boasting about staying at home and hoping McConnell loses to a dem and others thinking they are going to teach the Republican Party a lesson by not voting and allowing a dem to win is just crazy. I will take a Republican that I agree with 60% of the time any day over a dem or other candidate I disagree with 100% of the time!

I used to belileve this. Every election came around and I contributed to the party, worked at the Pub hdgtrs, worked as an election judge and then following the election watched the Pubs fall into line with their DC establishment "betters". Over the years I became disenchanted and stopped contributing to the GOP and gave contributions to candidates. Then the TEA Party revolution came and I was re-energized. I then watched as the GOPe instead of embracing the movement systematically began marginalizing the TEA Party and it's candidates. If a TEA PARTY candidate won that person was marginalized by the leadership.

The final straw was when the GOPe voted to exempt themselves and their staffs from obamacare, but yet decided it was okay to impose it on me and mine. Now I don't work at the local Pub office and have removed myself from it's membership list. I won't be an election judge. I will only contribute to and vote for a conservative. If a conservative is not on the ballot I won't vote.
