This is straight out of the DNC's playbook. Fund a libertarian spoiler. See Robert Sarvis in 2013 VA governor race.

If the GOP-E would run conservatives, this wouldn't be an issue.

But that can't be discussed.

Spit.

Run candidates worth voting for and the opposition doesn’t matter. Blaming 3rd parties is ignoring the serious faults with the GOP.

Out of the DNC playbook but just more handringing to deter enthusiasm. I’m of the opinion it will be a smashing victory for us.

Recall that we just had the same scenario in the special election in Florida for Bill Young’s seat. The Dems had a strong, well financed, well known candidate...The libertarian candidate in the race was likeable and articulate...He ended up with HALF of what polls showed him with a week before...we still won.. Obamacare was the reason.and that’s why Hagan will lose....big

It’s up to the Republicans to ‘out’ him and disclose who backs him and WHY. Brutal honesty is welcomed and required now.

Doesn’t North Carolina have a run-off to the general election if no candidate reaches 50%? Do I falsely remember certain key elections (1994?) waiting for weeks after the general election to find out how large the GOP gains were because NC had run-offs?

They better start voting for him in the polls, too, if they want him on stage for the debates.

Kay Hagan was a party line vote with Obama on the ticket.

She only has her own dirty liberal skirt to ride this time.
Kay “Obamacare” Hagan is not going to win.

Libertarians and Republicans should primary together.

If liberals can set up a Libertarian to siphon votes from Republicans, then why can’t the GOP set up a radical liberal socialst type, to siphon votes from a Democrat? Why does this work in only one direction???

UN-F****ING BELIEVABLE!

Yet totally believable!
If they had nominated Greg Brannon, who had the endorsement of Rand Paul and Ron Paul, this guy would get zero traction. Now Toll Road Tillis is going to lose. Karl Rove costs us victory again.

Dang it! Now I need another roll of duct tape to wrap around my head, and I am almost out.

Similar 3rd party strategy worked for the demos in the Virginia governor’s race. It was just enough to get a democrap elected governor.

Reps are way to nice and clueless to play nasty. Demos don’t care about anything but gaining power.
