Which explains why O'Donnell lost the primary so badly.

People are really going to have to come to grips with the fact that the electorate in a close primary is much different than the electorate as a whole. People win in primaries that can NEVER win in a general election. You can pretend that the media doesn't have sway over most Americans, but you are just putting your head in the stand. We need to do something about the media.

You Rovebots really are stuck on stupid aren't you.

Still pouting because your pet RINO got beat after the election like this is utterly stupid tactics

You Castle supporters all have put a noose around your necks with these daily after primary attacks on her, by clinging to them you are busy sawing off the limb you are standing on

If she loses, EVERYONE on our side is going to point at you Rovite propaganda drones as why she lost.

If she wins, everyone is going to remember that you all did your best to sabotage her.

They GOP Establishment mouthpieces here face either ostracism from the Conservative movement as traitors or ostracism from the Conservative movement as irrelevant, non-credible cretins.

So either way your Roveites here are creating a lose-lose position for yourselves with this daily trash talking about O’Donnel

People win in primaries that can NEVER win in a general election.

Or so we've been told. Then there's guys like Reagan, Obama, Scott Brown, and even idiot Al Franken that prove the assertion wrong. Independents vote on their perception of likability and conviction, not their perception of moderation. How have hard core leftist Dems gotten elected to the Senate from North and South Dakota, that both lean right? By running for office and winning primaries in states that weren't supposed to elect people like them.

The media can try all they want to marginalize O'Donnell. It won't do them any good. Nobody this year is going to base their vote on stories about her taxes or something she apparently said long ago. She may not win. But if she doesn't, it won't be because Katie Couric didn't want her to.

We need to do something about the media.

You mean things like talk radio, the internet, and a certain cable news channel, that have rendered the "media" rather helpless to prevent the wave headed the Dem's way? Seems we already are doing something, no? Wanting to "do something" about others speaking their mind is a roll for liberals and statists, who's views can't stand scrutiny, not for people that respect liberty.
