Maybe it's castration anxiety.
I really don’t understand what’s wrong with states like Iowa and NC. Both of those senate races should be easy GOP wins.
Maybe it's castration anxiety.
It's because the GOP establishment elites attacks on the tea party have totally pissed off the grassroots base of the Republican party.
In my opinion, what may save some of these races will be Sarah Palin going in and rallying the tea party. Otherwise, forget it. The GOP is toast and deservedly so.
Doesn’t Rush say, “It’s always the candidate”? After running a high-energy, clever primary campaign, Ernst’s general election campaign has been very low-key, allowing attack ads connecting her to the Koch brothers to go unanswered. Braley has only been attacked on one or two of the points on which he’s vulnerable.
Fortunately for the Iowa GOP, candidates like Grassley, Branstad, Tom Latham, and even Steve King get reelected regularly with blah campaigns. The flip side is that the GOP can’t take out a Braley or Harkin with those kind of campaigns.
Here in North Carolina Kay Hagan should be 10 points behind she is such a weak Senator and a lousy campaigner. In fact, she is neck and neck with Patty Murray for being the dumbest Senator in the Senate - and she's a total 0bama clone to boot.
Unfortunately, Tillis is running the world's worst campaign which is apparently being run by Karl Rove's GOPe buddies without any discernible Conservative support. No bold colors or contrasts are being painted that I can see. I live here and you would think Hagan is the only one running. Tillis is just an awful, awful candidate running a listless campaign against a more energetic Commie. The GOP sure picked the wrong horse for this race.
Tillis still might get lucky and pull it off because Hagan herself is such a weak dick and a joke. But if he does, it will be a squeaker. A Jesse Helms he is not. A wishy-washy establishment Republican... he is. He adds no excitement or anything else to the race. Pfft!
