O'Donnell was a bad candidate - proven by her abysmal vote tally at the end of the 2010 Senate election. I may agree with O'Donnell, but you have to understand, voters are not going to vote for someone who they think is dumb. It is not going to happen.

You can fool yourself as many times as you want (Aikin and Murd...whatever his name is) but voters will not bite and vote for candidates they think are dumb or discredited.

A good candidate will take steps to make themselves credible to the voting public; bad ones won't.

That is politics 101 - plain and simple.

Deny it all you want, but it was proven in 2010 and again in 2012. Bad candidates don't win elections even when voters agree with their views. I am sure Missouri voters as a whole are more pro life than pro choice, but they won't vote for a candidate they think is dumb.

That was a lot of post, and it had zero relevance to my post, so I don’t know what it is I’m supposed to be denying or not.

I don’t care what you think of social conservatives, but you should despise Karl Rove for going on TV and blasting our nominees during the week of their primary win, to make sure that he destroys their chances.

By the way, you left off the worst candidate of all, Mitt Romney.

Thank God for the tea party, Palin won Ted Cruz a Senate seat, and was responsible for our only Senate pick-up, Deb Fischer, and some congressional seats.

Romney may have been a disaster, but Palin had a pretty good election.
