There are many right here on FR who secretly hope Rounds loses. They want to "send RINOs a message." They are apparently unconcerned that the winner will be worse.

How so?

Being a lifelong conservative I've supported the "lesser of two evils" and what did I end up with? In the last govt shut down the final proposal being voted on was whether Congress and their staffs should be exempt from obamacare or not. The GOPe "lesser of two evils" voted to exempt themselves and their staffs, but left it to be imposed on me and my family.

I guess they figure I'm not worth fighting for, since I'm self employed and only represent 15% of the health insurance buying public. I did see Tea Party conservatives fight for me, though. So I guess the one good thing that came out of that fight was I learned who really wants to represent me.

I won't vote for anymore GOPe candidates. I don't care if the GOPe gets a majority or not. They won't fight for what I believe in ie., freedom, limited govt, free markets.

From reports I’ve read, Pressler is farther left that the DemocRAT, Weiland.

Boy are you going to get flamed. Don’t you know that ideological purity trumps winning elections every time. Once the 100%ers take over you will be sent to reeducation camp. Nothing, not the future of the country, control of the Senate or winning elections is more important than 100% fealty to conservative ideology. Of course get five TPers in a room together(and yes I speak from experience because I am a member of one of the four TP groups in my area) and they couldn’t agree on what to order on their pizza let alone what constitutes purity, but hey that is just RINO GOPe trash talking the REAL republicans.
