"I agree with him. I'd rather have even the most loathesome RINO win that seat than a Democrat - especially when we had a shot of taking the Senate."

So you don't care if you are being screwed. It just depends on who does it. Am I correct in this assumption?

How many times does it need to be said, nominate the most conservative candidate who CAN ACTUALLY WIN. It generally does no good to nominate people who are just going to get blown out in liberal states or districts. What is it people are not getting here? Scott Brown, for example, IS a RINO. Would you have preferred someone like O'Donnell in Mass who wouldn't have had a chance in hell of winning? How about we run arch conservatives in Maine and lose both those seats? Yeah, I get irritated as hell at Collins and Snowe, but we get their votes enough to put up with all their BS.

I am all for voting for the conservative in a primary, just try to maybe pick one who is electable in the general - O'Donnell is almost certainly not.

Saying that, I do agree that after the primary we need to circle the wagons - but that does not mean the discussion of why it is important to nominate the most conservative candidate who CAN actually win won't continue.
