"Yes, Santorum, Allen, Talant and Baucus all lost, El Rushbo. All were pretty good consrevatives."

I think El Rushbo is a large part of the problem. He kept the Foley story alive by trying one thing after another to try and explain away or justify the behavior. Even, at one point, he tried to blame the kids. Then he goes to war against Alex Keaton and makes that entirely personal. He keeps that alive far longer than it needed to be. Even when repeatedly asked to let it go he refuses and does not accept how his ridiculing of Parkinson's symptoms makes a lot of people look really bad. Now, as you suggest, he fails to recognize the defeat of serious conservative candidates. Perhaps time has past him by.

Bingo! The so called conservatives ridiculed a person with a dreaded disease for much too long...it turned on them...made us ALL look petty. Rush is the problem....
