You make some excellent points -and on Brown, who I’ve written about on AT (Rush read my entire piece the day after he beat Coakley) - he is not the problem. Mass is Mass and NH is NH.
The problems are Graham in SC, Cornyn in TX, Cochran in MS, Chambliss in GA, Burr in NC, Corker in TN, and so on. The problems are not Brown or even Olympia Snow and Susan Collins, as much as I despise those two. Red state RINOs are killing us, not blue state RINOs.
Right. Which is always my other rule. Collins is a steal seat. Conservatives would be advised to give her space to keep the number. But a RINO in a red state is totally unacceptable. They should be held accountable. And primaried. But when primary is over, the RINO beats a Harry Reid-caucusing Democrat any day.
