It should be sinking in by now that running as a progressive results in DEFEAT.
The same result for Fiorina who took the same “moderate” stand, hoping that independent voters would flock to them.Well thats not the case.
The Karl Rove model is officially “history”.
If Republicans do not join the conservative camp, they soon will be “history”.That's what the million dollar boondoggle campaigns of Whitman and Fiorina tell us.
The same can be said for Massachusetts races.
You don’t get it....
In states where the democrats/leftists outnumber the conservatives you are not going to win elections with Tea Party types. Wanna argue that? Try running liberals in deep Red states and see what happens.
No, all that sinks in with the idiots in charge is that now no Republican can possibly ever win there since the liberal ones lose.
A Chris Christie type could get elected there in a walk. However, the result would likely not be the same as NJ, because with the ballot measure system in CA, the state is basically ungovernable. It is a perfect example of how direct democracy does not work. People vote for spending increases and won’t vote for tax increases. It’s a mess.

It was always crap. A 22. caliber short in the war of ideas.
But Rove was and remains the most loved catamite in the neocons’ neoBabylon.
The “squishy” pro-abortion, easy on illegals/guest worker, Climate Changer-type GOP’ers is a recipe for disaster.
RINOs are going to be a dying breed if we are to survive the next 25 years as a nation.
McAmnesty, Grahamnesty, Collins, Snowe, Lugar, Brown, Kirk and their ilk need to lose via Primary with good, principled candidates.
I kept hearing the talk show hosts (some) moan about Mike Castle being on board 70% with the Conservative Agenda vs. 0% with Coons...
The Tea Party will learn, but I like O’Donnell.
What the GOP and Tea Party need to understand is that they will be under 300% more scrunity than their Democratic opponent because the Liberal media serves as free marketing, research and attack machine for the Left.
I want to move to SC and run against Lindsay Graham now in anticipation on 2014, if I had the money.
Brown and Boxer ran as progressives...and won big. In a wave election that was heavily against them.
