I’d like the tea party, (to the extent that it even thinks as a group) to start understanding why conservatives like Rand Paul and Ron Johnson win, while conservatives like Akin and O’Donnell get slaughtered. There is a real difference in personality and presentation to be taken into account.
While I agree that O’Donnell was a terrible candidate (she did, however, a great service by knocking off the RINO), she was running in a deep Blue State!
