If she was so terrible a candidate, how did she win the nomination against the establishment candidate?

Winners write the history I guess. Who would have thought the draft dodging Clinton could beat an actual war service vet, twice! Who would have thought that Odumbo could beat the establishment Clintoon? It was after they won the election, everyone found the flaws in the candidate they ran running against (bush was out of touch, Dole was ascerbic and Hitlery was herself).

In Dem heaven like Delaware, O Donnell was a long shot anyway. Same for Angle in Nv and forget Fiorina losing in crazy Cal, hard to win in those spots given the uphill battle.

I will take the 6 we got, perhaps 7 who knows, and move on. When the dems are running 21 verses our 12 next time around, I like our odds.

So, who do you suppose might be the GOP candidate in De in 2012 for the short term seat won by Coons? Of course it will not be O Donnel as she has been vilified. Well, I guess I don’t see one rising up there anytime soon except perhaps for some country club RINO. The aged Castle would fit the bill but then again, why not just elect the dem anyway and be done with it.

Every R that lost the last election, in that climate, was by defintion a ‘terrible candidate’.

No sarcasm involved here. They need to go away, now.
