Poor ol' Mittster was the chump, IOW...
It could be that the so-called GOP-e has one thing and only thing only on its mind. That is Jebbie 2016, and Mitt was just in the way.
It was a truly bizarre election.
Here in Michigan Pete Hoekstra ran an inexplicably bland campaign for the tough experienced politician he is. He lost in a near 60/40 split to Debbie Stabenow who in turn took 117,000 more votes in Michigan than Obama did.
Meanwhile we crushed two horrible power grabbing pro union ballot proposals and held all of the congressional districts and even flipped McCotters former moderate leaning district to a tea party backed candidate.
