Great on the whole, we lost one. Look at all the progress made. How many congressmen and senators made it in on the Tea Party Principles? We can't back down from the fight, we ARE winning. Now is not the time to turn tail and run. If you look at the microcosm and say Christine O'Donnell was a poor choice ignores all of the successes.

Joe Lieberman should be the perfect candidate, right? John McCain even seriously considered him as his running mate. Joe represents the great compromise candidate, right? Sometime WE cheer because he votes with us. He's not running because the polls are telling him he's through.

If the choice is between a Republican voting as a Democrat and a Democrat voting as a Democrat, I'll take the Democrat.

That was a rather low blow there Bob..... Ouch...

Ok, so O'donnell wasn't such a great candidate. Even though she was less than perfect she still could have been elected had she gotten the proper support from the GOP. As it was, Rove sort of set the stage for the GOPs reaction on FOX news. He had little to nothing to say in support of her and most of what he did say was negative.

I understand where Rove was coming from, finding that easy GOP victory to have disappeared but I never had any kind of sense that Castle would have voted as a block with the GOP. After all, wasn't it Castle that voted more with the Dems than his own party? As Marlin used to say, with friends like that, who needs anemones..... For all accounts Castle was as trust worthy as Alan Specter.......
