Normally I dont like FNC BoR but yesterday he was talking about how he won 5K from Laura Ingraham betting that CO'D would lose. He said that his staff looked at the CO'D campaign early on and came to the conclusion that the way it was being run it couldnt win. He said that is why her other possible campaign funding sources dried up, she was a bad gamble. Otherwise he said he liked her and had nothing against her. I really think she was a longshot.
While I wasnt watching that campaign closely (I liked the Taxman ad) that was my criticism of the early Angle campaign, not getting a strong message out. But Angle ended up running a good strong campaign.
I’m not going to argue the point on O’Donnell. You’ve got some room to go somewhat negative on her. I think that’s fair at this point.
Still, if the RNC did have resources, it’s pointless to trash her and hold up on funds. We pulled a lot of races out of the drink this election.
At this point we honestly don’t know what a full court press would have garnered us. Perhaps nothing, as you have mentioned. And perhaps a lot more with a fire in the belly support.
This wasn’t that far off from W., D. C. Did we get plenty of big names in there to support O’Donnell?
I watch when we run people here in California, and we might just as well be in Bangladesh for all the support the RNC provides.
We can’t sit on our hands as a group, and then say so and so didn’t have a chance. I still say we don’t know if she actually had a chance.
Once again, the left pulls out all the stops, and the RNC puts a cork in it. Who wins in that scenario? Who else but the Leftist.
With the Senate majority on the line, it just seems like the RNC didn’t have the juevos to stand up and be counted, at the very least in this case.
I recognize that you see it differently. That’s okay. I’m not 100% sold on O’Donnell being that rabid a Conservative too. Still, what I saw of her, she sounded very good. Of course she may have been not so good over all. I was only seeing bits and pieces, where folks in the state were privy to a lot I wasn’t.
Out here I wasn’t impressed with either Whitman or Fiorina, so I know how it is if there just isn’t the enthusiasm for some people.
