The purity seekers have achieved a long list of losers.

Todd Akin
Richard Mourdock
Sharon Angle
Christine O’Donnell
George Allen
Joe Miller
Alan West
Doug Hoffman
Barry Goldwater

I am hoping to NOT add Moore to that list.

Ridiculous list. There are countless losers on both sides of the aisle if you want to go back as far as Goldwater.

Christine O’Donnell only lost because she had to fight both democrats and Republican party leaders that sabotaged her.

Allen West was a winner who was gerrymandered out of his seat by GOP establishment in Florida.

George Allen was the establishment. Former Virginia governor and US senator.

Christine O'Donnell was sabotaged by her own party and by Obama IRS.

Four years after Goldwater defeat, GOP presidential era started with Nixon, who campaigned for Goldwater, elected twice, then Reagan who also campaigned for Goldwater, elected twice succeeded by his vice president with Watergate beneficiary Jimmy Carter being the four year exception to GOP presidential electoral dominance from 1968-1992.

Gillespie belongs on your list, he failed to defeat Warner for Senate because he refused to use Warner’s vote for Rubio’s amnesty against him. Because Gillespie is for amnesty.
