She’s wrong about Buck in Colorado and Angle in Nevada; both could have won if not for stupid, self-inflicted wounds. She’s probably right about Delaware though.

I'm not so sure about DE either - that "I'm not a witch" ad to kick off the campaign was a self-inflicted wound, and running cheaply produced ads with all of that cash was another. Even Joe Miller did a spoof of that "I'm not a witch" ad.

Buck and Angle lost due to personality issues, not due to ideology.

I agree that a solid conservative could have won in Colorado and Nevada. Whether the runners up in those primaries qualified as such I don’t know, but certainly those states aren’t California, the Pacific Northwest, or the Northeast where conservatives probably can’t win.

O’Donnell was just too easy for the Left to demonize.
