So nobody has bothered to look at DE's results page?
92% of precincts reporting - O'Donnell was annihilated 57% to 39%; that's 18%, actually WORSE than the RCP poll average.
It strains credulity to blame 18% on Rove; 18% of voters don't base their vote on what Rove tells them to do.
Leaving aside tactical/strategic issues, and just looking at objectively analyzing races, I do hope people at least learn something about the accuracy of polls for general elections (especially poll averages, and general rather than primary elections) - they're really quite accurate the overwhelming majority of the time.
She should sue for a recount. There are Democrat tricks everywhere, and I've had it with Freepers who want to roll over as soon as the Democrat powers that be announce that our candidate lost.
Since when did ANY Democrat accept a loss? What about Franken? Gore? The idiot who stole the election in Washington last time?
If the margin is truly 18% then that is significant. I’m not here to hide from anything I’ve said. And it is way too big to blame Rove, et. al. entirely, although the timing of their undermining was very influential. O’Donnell’s own weaknesses clearly played a large part and her strengths were not enough to overcome them in DE.
Still, I stand strongly by the strategy of electing COD over Castle. For example, one major complaint that many voters have is that both parties are just two sides of the same coin. By electing solid constitutional Conservatives we can make a true distinction between the parties. In future elections this distinction will make much more difference IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE MARXIST POLICIES WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE.
If you don’t believe this then maybe you should be a democrat and not even claim to be a conservative. This may seem like strong language but I feel strongly about it, as do many conservatives and Tea Party types, IMO.
Time is long past trying to compromise principles to try to get elected, or to “go along to get along.” We are at war and we better fight to win.
Marxist misery or American prosperity. You choose.
As JimRob says, “Revolution is Brewing.”
Get with the game.
And we learned exactly who Karl Rove is. And isn’t. He’s definitely not a Tea Party conservative. He’s nothing but a Big Government GOP establishment control freak and sore loser. That’s L-O-S-E-R, big “L” Loser!!
Learned something about some of our so-called conservatives on FR, too. Backstabbing sobs.
1) Absentee ballots, especially those cast early, before the surge.
2) RINOs sitting out.
3) Voter fraud.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
