TEA Party should sacrifice McCain as a tit-for-tat IF it can be determined that GOP will still have a majority in the Senate. This can be done by an independent running in AZ if the deadlines are not up. If they are, the vote can go to someone else on the ballot.

I agree, time to play the long game.

Hell yes.

Probably worth throwing the race even if the GOP holds less than a majority, as it could still block legislation with 41 firm "NO" votes.

You can contribute and vote Libertarian in Arizona David Nolan) and Illinois (Michael Labno) for Senate, they are already on the ballot. Also in Illinois Constitution Party Candidate and Retired Marine Randy Stufflebeam has a hearing on Sept 24th to get back on the ballot.

The GOP cannot have a majority in the Senate now because of O’Donnell and Angle. That’s the ENTIRE point.

Look, I hate the establishment as much as anything, but pragmatism has to come into play as well. Any shot we had at a majority went away with Angle and O’Donnell winning. They can’t win those states when we would have easily won those states with other Republicans.

O’Donnell is such a whack job that the RNC is worried she could bring down other GOP candidates because the press and everyone else is going to paint the GOP as extremist. And the problem is that O’Donnell and Angle are just that...extreme.

It’s sad, so close to throwing out the libtards and instead we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Sigh. I’d expect nothing less, we have a way of screwing things up time and time again.

Sadly, Nevada seems to be the only state that offers “None of the Above” on the ballot.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to know what happens if “None of the Above” wins.
