If Brown was 5% more conservative he would have lost

"Too conservative to win" is pretty much how Republican poohbahs analyze most conservative candidacies across the land. It's been going on for years, and the outcome of this race will strengthen that position. Those who won't face this are fooling themselves.

When Alan Keyes can run in a statewide election and get more than 39 percent of the vote, get back to us.

“”Too conservative to win” is pretty much how Republican poohbahs analyze most conservative candidacies across the land. It’s been going on for years, and the outcome of this race will strengthen that position. Those who won’t face this are fooling themselves.”

Brown won 89% of votes in the Primary in December, against opponent Jack Robinson (pro-life). Robinson then endorsed Brown.

This was and is the verdict of the people, and it is real world politics.

Those who won’t face this are fooling themselves.

I think the analogy is pretty accurate. Keyes is a perfect example of that analogy. He’s either to conservative or too much of a self centered egotist to win.

As you said, “Those who won’t face this are fooling themselves.”
