I think a lot of us held our tongue. Her heart was in the right place and she was right on principles, but it was obvious that this was going to be a tough challenge.
I think she’d make for a terrific actress on the Lifetime channel, or perhaps selling stuff on QVC.
Michael Williams for one.
no way. we need a high powered, experienced leader to follow MS. 2012 needs to be another Republican year - she’s not experienced enough. period.
“Following” is for weenies.
A name.
Just one. Still waiting...
it is a good night but there were no ‘miracles.’ Nice, polished republicans couldn’t win versus Barney frank. Inexperienced candidates that made many mistakes certainly couldn’t win in blue states.
No.
First off I consider myself “of the base” and Christine O’Donnell has never fired me up. I don’t even particularly like her. She was a means to an end to take out Castle for me and that is all.
Second the job is not to “fire up the base”. This job is to secure money for elections which *maybe* she could do but also represent and strategize Republican victories. She’d fail in that role. If you want to know who I think should head it then fine. I’ll give you the name. Hayley Barbour. He’s more then qualified and one of the few people that will work with the base but not completely cater to them who is respected with those who hold the purse strings. That man would be ideal to take oer the role for 2012.
What you said.
(who?)
Come on. A real name.
..and no, I want nothing to do with Mitt in the RNC.
There are a lot of sleepers out there who can fire up the base- they are doing it in their States and districts, they just need a national stage.
Several months ago you would have said “who” about O’Donnell but now she is the candy on your plate- think long term, not just a pop-culture whomever is in the headlines this day. Williams has been a star in Texas politics for a decade, he is extremely Conservative, and I’ve never seen someone fire up a room like him. There has been a major grass roots movement for him to take John Cornyn or Kay Baily’s seat and he actually has polled better than them.
What on earth is wrong with some of you people? It's as if you don't understand political realities at all. O'Donnell just utterly failed to even compete in Delaware, and you want to make her the face of the Republican Party?
It's like you and others simply refuse to see the obvious. She is not someone Americans are going to take seriously, and is widely regarded as something of a joke. Why on earth would we want her to be the face of the Republican Party?
If anything, tonight should remind the dreamers just how hard it is to win over the American people. We have a terrible economy right now, and the Republican party was still unable to win by the kind of margins many people were predicting. We need GOOD candidates, and a GOOD face for the party - not someone like COD who is damn near a clownish figure who has no chance of pulling independent and mushy middle voters over to our side.
Obama and his crew are responsible for the commie/lib losses. We picked up the house IN SPITE of Steele and Rove.
See, in my opinion that’s the real problem.
The GOP has had nothing (but) “sleepers” for the last 20 years.
We tried that. It hasn’t been working. What we need, is some caffein! No more sleeping please.
Some adrenalin.
Some spirit. And frankly, pissing off liberals at the same time would be fun and useful too!!
If you’re going to so quickly dismiss Ms. O’Donnell, then at very least show the consideration to suggest someone you believe to be better.
So?...
These two cost us the Senate in this race. No guts. No integrity. No competence. No balls. No support for Rossi, Angle, O'Donnell, and a host of others.
Need a job, Mike? Get your vacant face on the Uncle Ben's Box. Understand they hire for color.
..also Michelle Bachman, Allen West, Elizabeth Cheney,, and those are just some names who are in the news, not even back to my ‘sleeper’ thoughts regarding those the MSM doesn’t give airtime to.
