“Deep breaths. Slowing the train wreck, however minuscule, is better than accelerating it. It seems to be more imperative to maintain the energy on the ‘newbies’. Gaining ground, however incremental, is the right direction.”

You have nailed it well. As for the post itself, I agree with much of what the writer is saying, but not the reasoning behind it. Taken to the extreme, the writer should be praising the sore loser Lisa Murkowski. Is there any doubt Miller would have won the seat without Lisa running. Let's hear it for Mark Kirk. Don't we all feel good that he won? Apparently, according to this writer, we should fill the senate with Mark Kirk's, McCain's, and Murkowski’s. Yeah, that's the ticket.

It was a bad night in the senate. But not because of the Tea Party.

So you would rather have Giannoulias than Kirk? I would like to see you write that.
