Baghdad Bob has some competition, as only he could consider a loss in an election a victory.
FOR THOSE WITH PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING KEY CONCEPTS: Purpose behind an election is to win.
The conservative candidate did not win. Am I missing something here? THE DEMOCRAT WON THE ELECTION in a supposedly solid conservative area. Conservatism lost in that election. That is not good, and that is NOTHING TO CELEBRATE.
Winning an election is not a gray concept ... its all black and white. YOU either WIN or you don’t. We lost.
What happened to the polls. They were way off.
Having a conservative Dem beat a very liberal R who would have stood with Pelosi anyway on a one year election cycle to send a message is not a loss.
We would have lost anyway, no matter who won. This way, we have sent a message, and possibly even got the lesser of two evils in office.
Been different, maybe if Dede hadn’t been hand picked and there had been a primary.
Lesson: Conservatives might not be able to win with the way things are set up, but GOP, you can’t win without us — stop trashing the conservatives in your midst and stand up for something besides the letter R.
