Good! It's definitely what the party needs. Third party is a last action of desperation . In the NY case too I think things worked out for conservatives. It's just we have to learn lessons.
The victories in Jersey & VA show that the Dem playbook of blaming Bush for everyhting doesn’t work anymore. Instead, the new Dem playbook shall be “The Taliban Tea Baggers have declare a Jihad against reasonable thinking moderates just like in the NY-23.”
