Oh BS. The TEA Party candidate (Davis) has run repeatedly as a Democrat and is an uber liberal on almost every issue. There was not a thing wrong with Corwin, and the fact that Bellavia, the candidate many TEA Party folks preferred, went on to endorse an obvious lefty shows the NY GOP nominated the right person. The majority of TEA Party organizations supported Corwin, not Davis.
We are going to lose from now till eternity if Republicans, movement conservatives and TEA Party supports split their vote in general elections. The time to lobby for the candidate you prefer is in the primary. In NY 26 there wasn't time for one, but based on Bellavia's reprehensible actions it is clear the Republicans were right to pass him by.
I fully agree. Not knowing much about the race at hand, I didn't know that Davis was a Tea Party imposter not endorsed by any TEA party groups. Looks like the Dems have a new strategy up their sleeves.
